ALGERIA SACKS MILOVAN RAJEVAC

Milovan Rajevac became the second casualty of the opening round of African World Cup group qualifiers at the weekend when he was sacked by Algeria on Tuesday.
The country’s football federation announced the decision in the wake of the 1-1 home draw with Cameroon on Sunday, which marked a disappointing start to their Group B campaign.
The Serbian coach had only been in charge for two matches but has been criticized by several players for his tactics in the game in Blida at the weekend, where Algeria had been seeking to make a wining start to a difficult group which also contains Nigeria.
He had met with the federation president Mohamed Raouraoua on Tuesday to discuss the fallout, after which his departure was announced.
Algeria, who next play Nigeria next month, will now be looking for their third coach inside a year. Frenchman Christian Gourcuff quit the job in April to return to Ligue 1.
Rajevac, 62, was previously coach of Ghana, when they became only the third African country to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup at the 2010 finals in South Africa, and Qatar.
