Lee Addy to get new coach at Red Star

Published on: 07 December 2010

Ghana defender Lee Addy is bracing up for a new coach after Aleksandar Kristic parted ways with Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday as head coach.

The centre-back was signed by Kristic in August and showed tremendous improvement in the Serbian league.

"Red Star thanks Kristic for what he has achieved. He took over at a difficult time after the club was eliminated from European competition and it took a lot of effort to restore some confidence among the players," the club said on their website.

"However both parties came to the conclusion at Tuesday's meeting that further cooperation is impossible and decided it was best Red Star and Kristic should part company."

Red Star Belgrade have been eliminated from the Europa League qualifying rounds.

Kristic came under pressure after a 1-0 derby defeat by Partizan in October and Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Vojvodina Novi Sad.

Red Star trail their bitter city foes by five points at the winter break.

Front-runners Partizan have won a record three league titles in a row and will meet Red Star in a two-legged Serbian Cup semi-final in March and April.
