Milo demands €70,000 a month as talks stall

Former Black Stars head coach Milovan Rajevac is now demanding a monthly salary of €70,000 before putting pen to paper on a return to the role he left in 2010, Footy-Ghana.com understands.

According to our well-placed sources, Rajevac had agreed in principle to a 2-year-deal with the Ghana Football Association, but made his demands when the matter of figures came up.

Footy-ghana.com gathers that, in addition to the salary demand, the Serbian also wants to bring in an assistant coach and an interpreter; both of whom will also draw salaries from the GFA.

Footy-ghana.com has learnt that the development is one of the reasons why the GFA has called for other interested candidates to apply for the job, left vacant after Kwesi Appiah was axed on Friday.

The Ghana FA has put a one-week timeline for people to send in their applications and will officially shut it by 5pm next Friday, September, 19.

Our sources reveal that Milo is still in talks with the GFA hierarchy, which hopes to reach a compromise with the Serbian before pen is put to paper.

Rajevac served as Black Stars head coach from 2008 to 2010, within which time he took the Local Black Stars to the inaugural Championship of African Nations (CHAN) final in 2009, guided the main Black Stars team to the African Nations Cup final a year later and took Ghana to the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
