Black Stars head coach, Milovan Rajevac has said no person can and has handle the senior national team of Ghana perfectly like what he did a decade ago and what he has started to achieve after his second term appointment.
According to the 63-year-old Serbian, despite having little to no knowledge of Africa’s football terrain, he developed an understanding which made him the perfect fit for the national team.
“The most important period for getting this experience was the period in Ghana. During the two years I got to know the mentality of the people and players. I was the perfect match for them, and they were the perfect match for me. Having local Black Stars at the same time and the senior team, and many matches played around gave me so much experience and knowledge about everything here. This is the key thing that I still have in my mind,” he made it known to GFA officials.
He added, “We really had a great relationship, mutual understanding and very nice communication at that time. I managed to setup the team consisting of big stars playing in big clubs, and also some young promising talents who proved themselves. Before that, some of them proved themselves in the U-20 team, they won the World Cup for U-20 and they were later introduced into the first team.
“So many players really made their name, like Kwadwo Asamoah, Vorsah, Dede Ayew so many of them, Samuel Inkoom, Opoku Agyemang. Kevin-Prince Boateng joined us for the World Cup so definitely I managed to setup a mixture of experienced and young players, and this mixture was the perfect combination for the success”.
