Former Black Stars midfielder, Derek Boateng\u00a0has taken a swipe at former\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0coach,\u00a0Milovan Rajevac describing him as a clueless trainer.<\/p>\n

Ghana became the third African country to play in the quarterfinal of the Fifa World Cup in South Africa under the Serbian trainer.<\/p>\n

Many Ghanaians credited Rajevac\u2019s tactical genius for the country\u2019s impressive performance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Derek Boateng\u00a0said it will be an error for the Milovan Rajevac to be credited for their success.<\/p>\n

According to him, all his teammates who played in the 2010\u00a0FIFA World Cup in South Africa knew the Serbian was not good.<\/p>\n

The former Fulham midfielder also said he\u00a0was surprised when the Serbian was re-hired to coach the\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expatriate coaches we played under them were all clueless. The likes of Milovan Rajevac and other coaches who came into this country were all clueless,\u201d he told Asempa FM <\/strong>on Sports Nite Show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, if you check our starting XI and the players who were on the bench as substitutes, it was just amazing. I was on the bench, Stephen Appiah, Quncy Owusu Abayie, Sulley Muntari and other players were all on the bench and at that time, we were all playing big teams in Europe so it was not Milovan Rajevac who did any magic or knew tactics. These coaches did not help us.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring our training, we the players knew what we want. We were training like a matchday because we all wanted to get into the starting XI so there was tough competition among ourselves so Milovan never helped us.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently Milo came back to coach the Black Stars and I knew he will fail because he is clueless. We had good players at the time he came and we were ready to die for the country so it was not any coach who helped to achieve that feast in South Africa,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Milovan Rajevac\u00a0who was a hero in 2010 after leading Ghana to the AFCON final and World Cup quarter-finals but in 2022 became the worst coach to have led the\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0to an AFCON tournament.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0in 2022, exited the AFCON in Cameroon without winning a single game, which was the first in the history of the country.<\/p>\n
