Credited as : Football manager coach Ghana, World Cup, Red Star Belgrade
He previously managed Sloboda Užice, Red Star Belgrade, FK Vojvodina and FK Borac Čačak in Serbia.
As a player, he played for Borac Čačak, Red Star Belgrade, FK Vojvodina and Sloboda Užice.
Milovan Rajevac was a surprise appointment for a country that had been promised a world-class manager, but he has made a very positive start to his first international coaching role.
Born in Cajetina in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1954, Rajevac spent his playing days as a defender, making appearances for Yugoslavia in the Olympics and reaching the final of the UEFA Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1979. His coaching career to date has taken in spells in Sweden, Germany, China and Qatar, and he was assistant boss at Red Star Belgrade, where he acted as caretaker for two matches. Most impressively, he turned relegation strugglers FK Vojvodina and FK Borac into UEFA Cup qualifiers.
His appointment as Ghana boss in 2008 was met with scepticism in most quarters. Many 'Black Stars' fans had wanted a homegrown boss, while other foreigners interviewed for the post - including former Rapid Vienna and Austria boss Josef Hickersberger - were unable to agree financial terms. His lack of experience with big clubs or international sides was called into question, but he asked to be judged on results.
Public opinion swiftly turned around. He won four out of four without conceding a goal to seal qualification in a group that featured a Mali side boasting the likes of Frédéric Kanouté, Mahamadou Diarra and Seydou Keita, and he is now considered the most successful boss in the country's history.
Strengths
A strict manager with a reputation as a fine tactician, Rajevac has made Ghana hard to beat and stopped the trend for conceding cheap goals
