Ghanaians have been reacting to the news of the coach’s sacking.
How did anyone expect us to accept what Milovan Rajevac served us in Cameroon? How did anyone believe that they could talk us with excuses into believing after the evidence in Cameroon that we were going to get any better under the Serbian?

Milovan Rajevac at his unveiling said he had an unfinished business with Ghana.
I think his plan was to come and finish us completely!
