Milovan Rajevac expects to sign a contract extension in the coming weeks after negotiating a new deal with the Ghana Football Association.

The Black Stars coach whose initial two-year contract has run out says he is now looking ahead to another challenge as the qualifying campaign for the 2012 African Nations Cup begins next month.

“It is sure I will be signing a new contract soon,” said Rajevac.

Having guided Ghana to the finals of the 2009 African Nations Championship - a competition reserved for only local players, - 2010 Nations Cup and finishing as quarter-finalists at the World Cup, the 56-year-old Serb's announcement puts an end to speculation that he could be returning to his homeland, Serbia.
