Ex-Hearts of Oak board member Thompson believes it’s too early to sack Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac

Ex-Board Member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Ernest Thompson believes it is too early to sack Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac after a poor 2021 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

The four-time African champions recorded their worse performance at the AFCON and their first exit in the group stage since 2006 after defeat to Comoros on Tuesday.

Ghana suffered a defeat in their opening game against Morocco and a draw against Gabon.

“It was a difficult match but they played well and better than the previous matches. It is not easy beating a national team at such a tournament with 10 men having also conceded an early goal,” Thompson told Footballmadeinghana.

“The team is not too strong up front. Majority of the attackers are young and will need time. The goalkeeper has challenges with ground shots and does not use his legs like other great keepers like the Manchester United keeper.”

He added, “But no panicking or Knee jerk decision. It’s bitter to be taken out of every football tournament but this team started going down from the world cup in Brazil so let’s have patience to re-build it.”
