Ghana has fired coach Milovan Rajevac after its exit from the group stage at the African Cup of Nations. The Black Stars will look to hire a replacement before their two-leg World Cup playoff against Nigeria in March. Four-time champion Ghana finished in last place in its group at the African Cup after collecting one point from games against Morocco, Gabon and Comoros. The 3-2 loss to tournament debutant Comoros was one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history. Rajevac was hired in September for a second spell in charge of the national team. The Serbian coach also led Ghana from 2008-10. He guided the team to the World Cup quarterfinals in 2010.
