Stevanovic arrives to monitor local league

Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic will arrive in Accra on Friday night to continue with his work by monitoring the local league.

The Serbian has spent the past three months monitoring Ghanaian players in Europe with the local top-flight in recess.

With the competition entering its second week, Stevanovic will spend some time in the country to monitor players in the league.

He spent last week, when the league was starting, preparing the Black Stars for their clash with Sudan which they won 2-0.

While he must spend some time on the local scene observing players, the foreign-based players must not be neglected.

That is because 98% of players currently in the Black Stars squad ply their trade in Europe.

Stevanovic is also expected to keep his eyes on his players abroad to ensure that they are all in good shape when they are handed call-ups to the national team.

His assistants Akwasi Appiah and Edward Ansah will also spend some time monitoring the local league too as well.
