Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan has told the BBC that although the departure of former coach Milovan Rajevac took him by surprise, the Black Stars still have a bright future without him.

"It [the departure of Milovan Rajevac] has surprised me a lot,” the Sunderland striker said.

“Because our last game against Swaziland he handled the team and after the game we were chatting, and we didn't see any sign that he had to leave so it was like a shock to me. But life goes on - we've had many coaches."
