Playing career
Born in Čajetina,[1] Rajevac played as a defender for Borac Čačak, Red Star Belgrade, Vojvodina, Lunds BK, and the New York Arrows (as "Mike Rejevac"[2][3]) and Sloboda Užice.
Coaching career
Rajevac coached a number of club sides in his native Serbia, including Sloboda Užice, Red Star Belgrade, Vojvodina and Borac Čačak.
Ghana national team
He became Ghana manager in August 2008.[4][5] During the 2010 African Cup of Nations, he led Ghana to the finals, there they were defeated by Egypt 1-0. He then coached Ghana all the way to the Quarterfinals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and eventually losing to Uruguay 4-2 on the penalty shootout.
Rajevac quit Ghana on 8 September 2010, and took up a position with Saudi Arabian team Al-Ahli a day later.[6]
Qatar national team
He left the Saudi club in February 2011 to take up the role as national team coach for Qatar.[7] He was relieved of duties on August 7, 2011 after the team's disappointing losses to India (1-2) in a friendly at home and away to Vietnam (1-2) in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match.[8]
In September 2011, Rajevac was linked with the Egyptian national team job.[9] In the four-candidate shortlist alongside compatriot Zoran Filipović, Colombian Francisco Maturana, and American Bob Bradley, Rajevac made the final two with Bradley, but the job eventually went to Bradley.
