"The Ghana Football Association has parted company with Goran Stevanovic as the Black Stars coach today (Monday)," a GFA statement read.

"This comes after three weeks of extensive meetings to ensure that the best decision is taken in the best interest of the nation."

The coach's lawyer confirmed the news of his dismissal and said they are now locked in a meeting with GFA officials to agree on favourable terms of compensation.

The 45-year-old led the four-time African champions to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations where they finished fourth.

Ghana assistant coach Kwegsi Appiah will take charge of the team for now, but the GFA must find a permanent successor quickly with their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign set to get underway in June.
