For Immediate Release

It has come to the attention of the Ministry of youth and sports of publications making rounds in the social media that the Ministry has given approval for the engagement of Milovan Rajevac as the new coach for the Senior National team, the Black Stars and agreed  to pay an amount  of $45,000 a month for his services.

Much as the Ministry is unaware of the process of engaging a new coach for the Black Stars by the GFA, the process has not been brought to the attention of the Ministry.

We wish therefore to state categorically that the publications that the Ministry has agreed to pay $45,000 for the Coach of the Black Stars are untrue and of no basis.

It must be noted that the Ministry is awaiting for the report of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on the engagement of a new coach.

By this release, the general public is entreated to disregard any such publications and treat it with the contempt it deserves.

The Ministry will make it public when a decision is taken on who the new coach will be and his entitlements and conditions of service.
