The Ghanaian Football Association have sacked Goran Stevanovic from his position as coach of the national team.

Reports had suggested over the weekend that the Serbian had asked the FA for extra time to turn the nation's fortunes around.

However, it has been decided after numerous discussions that the two parties should go their separate ways.

"This comes after three weeks of extensive meetings to ensure that the best decision is taken in the best interest of the nation," read a statement from the Ghanaian FA.

Assistant coach Kwesi Appiah has been asked to take temporary charge of the team.
