However, in a swift reply, the GFA has issued a statement to announce that the Serbian is still on the job pending a decision by the FA that will arrive in two-weeks after they'd studied the coach’s technical report on the tournament.

“At a meeting of the Executive Committee on Wednesday, it was agreed the decision on the future of the coach be deferred as the membership of the Ex.Co continue to study the report of the coach and from the management team on the Black Stars' participation at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.”
