Angola and coach Srdjan Vasiljevic part ways by mutual consent

Angola have parted ways with coach Srdjan Vasiljevic by mutual agreement after an underwhelming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) experience.

The Serbian’s contract was due to run out in January 2020 and an extension was said to be improbable.

He was appointed in 2017 and guided the Palancas Negras to this year’s Afcon finals in Egypt where they failed to make it out of a group that included Tunisia, Mauritania and Mali.

A dispute with the Angolan Football Federation saw Vasiljevic refuse to take charge of the national team for last month’s African Nations Championship (Chan 2020) qualifier against Swaziland.
