Ghanaian soccer fans have lauded new coach Ghana Goran Stevanovic for leading the Black Stars to a deserved 4-1 win over Togo on Tuesday night in Antwerp.
\nThey expressed satisfaction at his attacking brand of football and esnured the number one ranked team in Africa kept the momentum ahead of the next Fifa ranking.
\nThe appointment of the 44 year-old former Serbia and Montenegro assistant coach was heavily criticized in some quarters but he made a perfect start to his reign.
\n\u201cFrom the onset everybody knew I was not particularly a fan of Plavi because I thought Humberto Cuelho was the best man for the job but at least after seeing him help the Black Stars win the game in that comprehensive fashion, he needs to be encouraged,\u201d Asempa FM\u2019s pundit Kobby Jones commented.
\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t get the chance to watch the match on TV but I have friends in Belgium who watched the game at Antwerp and after talking to them I believe Goran is the right man for the job and I\u2019m positive when he gets the needed support from all frontiers, he can deliver the trophies he talked when took over.\u201d
\n\u201cObviously the coach did well even though it might be early days yet to judge the coach on a single game, I still insist the coach has got the winning mentality and that\u2019s a positive sign for all of us,\u201d another told Kumasi-based Hello FM.
\nThe next assignment of the former Partizan Belgrade coach will be next month against Congo Brazaville in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and will face England three days later in a friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
