AFCON 2023: Ivory Coast Sack coach
Ivory Coast coach, Jean-Louis Gasset has been sacked after the team’s poor performance at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ivory coast’s football federation (FIF) confirmed this today, Wednesday 24, 2024.
“The contracts of coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his assistant Ghislain Printant are terminated due to insufficient results,” the FIF said in a statement
Gasset, who’s age is 70, began to coach the side in 2022, replacing Patrice Beaumelle. The Frenchman was previously the assistant coach of the France men’s national team and Paris Saint-Germain.
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast won their first game at AFCON, beating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 on January 13. It was a feat attributed to goals from Seko Fofana and Jean-Philippe Krasso.
However, following a 1-0 defeat against Nigeria on January 18, and the damaging 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea on January 21, their future participation in the tournament is not certain.
