The Serbian coach was announced for a second spell at a press conference in Accra on Friday
Ghana’s reappointment of Milovan Rajevac as their new head coach has been greeted by mixed reactions.
Eleven years after leaving the Black Stars, having led the team to the quarter-final of the 2010 World Cup, the Serbian coach has made a return on a one-year renewable contract.
His appointment was announced at a press conference by the Ghana Football Association on Friday.
‘Milo’ is fondly remembered for his first Ghana spell, not only because of the World Cup exploits but also for leading the Stars to the final of the 2009 African Nations Championship and the final of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
While his comeback has generated a lot of excitement, there have been some concerns about his ability to achieve with the Stars over a decade on.
Below are some of the best reactions to his unveiling in Accra:

In the end let me say I’m disappointed but can only be hopeful. Looks to me like the price tag of the coach will always matter over the reputation here. Will that hinder our potential to really grow? I don’t know. Let’s see.

When Milo first took over the Black Stars job, he met the newly crowned FIFA U20 World Champions
This time he returns to meet the U20 AFCON Champions

Am I the only one who feels Milovan Rajevac’s interpreter is more of a spokesperson than an interpreter?😂😂😂😂
I feel he is in to manage the man’s communication from the way he speaks— Abdul Muhaimin Fusein (@Mister_Glen) September 24, 2021
I still remember the questions from Milovan Rajevac’s first presser all those years ago. One thing hasn’t changed the question selection by journalists. You don’t have to ask a question, if you don’t have any, you know?
