Former Asante Kotoko coach Zdravko Lugarusic has been appointed as head coach of the Sudanese national team.

The 55-year-old gaffer has been out of coaching since departing from Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko in April.

The Croat has however been handed another top job after he was appointed as the head coach of the Jediane Falcons of Sudan and he's been tasked to build a team for next year's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

He has a rich experience working on the continent with stints in Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania and Angola.

Lugarusic holds a UEFA Pro License.
