    The Ghana Football Association is on the search for a new coach for the Black Stars following the departure of Serbian Milovan Rajevac. The 56-year-old has communicated his decision to take on a new challenge following the expiration of his two-year contract with the FA.

    "The Ghana Football Association has officially been notified by Mr Milovan Rajevac of his desire to take up a fresh challenge elsewhere.

    "Mr Rajevac relinquishes his position as Head Coach of the Black Stars after two years and the Ghana Football Association would like to place on record our gratitude for his services and wish him all the best in his future career.

    "Though we find his departure unfortunate after two years of great strides, we confirm that the search for a new coach has begun," an FA statement released to www.ghanafa.org stated.

    No timescale has been placed on the process.

    Rajevac joined the Black Stars in 2008 and guided the local side to silver at the maiden African Nations Championship in 2009, a competition reserved exclusively for local players.

    He followed it up with a another final berth as Ghana were the losing finalist at the 2010 African Cup of Nations and five months later, led the Black Stars to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa.
