Former King Faisal Croatian manager Zdravko Lugaracic has confirmed he is interested
in landing the Black Stars managerial job if the seat becomes vacant as current
coach Milovan Rajevac's future with the team looks uncertain. Milovan who is on the
radar of many national and clubs sides as a result of the Black Stars sterling
performance in the ongoing FIFA World Cup looks unlikely to continue with the job
and the Croatian after achieving success with Kumasi based Premier league side King
Faisal Babies would want to be considered for the hot seat.
In an interview, the coach indicated he has been keenly following the Black Stars
exploits in the world cup and believes the team could have won the cup if the
technical bench had reacted positively in the matches especially when the Black
Stars lost on penalty shoot-outs to the Celeste of Uruguay.He said the Black Stars
coach's inability to communicate directly with the players adversely affected their
performance and entreated the Ghana Football Association to consider it as a factor
in selecting a manager for the team when it becomes necessary.
Lugaracic who is spending some time off in his native Croatia recounted his
managerial experiences as having worked in four continents with several club sides
in Germany, Serbia and Iran and with seventeen (17) years of work, he believes the
current Black Stars Coach has no matching with him."My CV is better than him
(Milovan
Rajevac) and why shouldn't I be considered for the Job" the eloquent
Croatian was quoted as saying.
After guiding King Faisal from relegation to the mid-table in the just ended Premier
league, the coach insisted he only came to Ghana to learn about African culture and
secure a national team's job. The UEFA License B coach also said he was preparing
his CV and application and would be ready to fax it to the GFA should the Black
Stars job become vacant.
Meanwhile, the coach has make himself available to any club side in Ghana but
denied speculations that he has been contacted by many sides in the country.
