Black Stars Coach Goran Stevanovic has served notice he would resign as coach if the Black Stars fail to play in the finals of next year\u2019s Nations Cup.<\/p>\n
Depending on how the Stars lose in the final he might still resign, Plavi vowed at a packed press conference on Thursday, during which he officially outdoored the 25-man squad for the 2012 tournament.<\/p>\n
According to the Serbian coach, his only guarantee as Black Stars coach is for Ghana to win the Nations Cup or lose honorably, preferably via penalties in the final.<\/p>\n
The comments by Plavi were answers to blunt questions posed by one of the journalists at the conference.<\/p>\n
After parroting the need for the Black Stars, the Brazil of African football as he pointed out, he was asked if he would consider resignation if he is not a champion, Plavi stated: \u201cIf you want to, Yes,\u201d but the journalist, not convinced, pushed further asking, \u201cwould you?\u201d then he said: \u201cYou know what, I am thinking about it. If we don\u2019t play in the finals, yes. If we play in the final it will depend, if we lose for example [through] a penalty then I don\u2019t know, maybe if my people [GFA] say we are not satisfied then I will resign\u201d the coach responded.<\/p>\n
The coach answered many other questions including why Richard Kingson was dropped and why Sammy Adjei and Quincy Owusu Abeyie failed to make the cut.<\/p>\n
According to him, Sammy Adjei only recovered from a sickness adding he preferred Derek Asamoah to Abeyie, even though the latter is not a bad player at all.<\/p>\n
