Ghana Football Associations (GFA), Kurt Okraku has disclosed that his outfit believed Milovan Rajevac was the right man that’s why he was given the job in September last year.
The 68-year-old was re-appointed by the GFA on an initial one-year deal, which will be automatically extended until February 2023 if he can lead Black Stars to the World Cup finals in Qatar.
Rajevac, who qualified Ghana to the final play-offs of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers took over from CK Akonnor whose contract was terminated by the GFA earlier in September.
However, the four-time African champions suffered a humiliating group-stage exit following their 3-2 defeat to AFCON debutants Comoros.
“Everybody has the right to pour out his or her heart and it is not for me to stop people from speaking what they think is the truth,” Okraku told Asempa FM.
“In coaching, there are a lot of top-line managers who have failed in certain levels but made it in other ways. Rafael Benitez is one, Jose Mourinho is one. I’m saying that we believed that Milovan was the right man that’s why we gave him the job. We believed.”
Ghana finished bottom of Group C with only one point after three matches played.
