Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Henry Asante Twum has revealed the FA paid over $100,000 in compensation to former Black Stars coach Milovan Rajevac after his dismissal.
The experienced Serbian trainer was released from his post after Ghana’s poor performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.
Ghana exited the group stages of the continental event after picking up one point from a possible 12.
“When Milo [Milovan Rajevac] was fired, it became an issue because he didn’t have time to waste, so he went to FIFA,” Twum explained.
“FIFA ruled in Milo’s favour, and we had to pay over $100,000. It was about $117,000 or so. Despite several pleas, the Ministry wasn’t forthcoming, so the FA had to settle the amount.”
The FA’s Executive Council is currently yet to decide the future of Otto Addo who also failed to qualify the nation for AFCON 2020 – the first absence since 2004.
