Serbia’s Stojkovic linked with vacant Black job

Serbia manager Dragan Sto­jkovic is reportedly on the radar of the Ghana Football Associa­tion (GFA) as the next coach of the Black Stars.

Although he is in charge of the Serbian national team, the FA are considering a move to bring the ex-Nagoya Grampus coach to Gha­na.

According to Asempa FM, the 57-year-old has been shortlisted for the vacant Black Stars job. He joins George Boateng, Chris Hughton and Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet on the list of suitors for the job.

Stojkovic led Serbia to the World Cup in Qatar but the European nation failed to prog­ress beyond the Group stage after defeats to Switzerland and Brazil, and a draw against Cameroon.
