Ivory Coast Sack Coach after AFCON Woes
Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) hosts Ivory Coast have sacked their coach midway through the tournament, the country’s football federation (FIF) has announced.
“The contracts of coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his assistant Ghislain Printant are terminated due to insufficient results,” a statement from FIF said.
The team were thrashed 4-0 by Equatorial Guinea in their last Group A game on Monday.
He’s not the first coach to leave their team partway through Afcon – Ghana’s coach Chris Hughton was sacked on Tuesday, while Tanzania’s Adel Amrouche has been suspended.
Gambia’s coach Tom Saintfiet resigned after his team suffered a group-stage exit.
