Ivory Coast, hosts the Africa Cup, is in the round of 16 because of the poor performance of other teams, not because of its results. In the first period they achieved one victory and two defeats. The last con Equatorial Guinea falling to 0-4. A result that asked the classification in the next stage, something that initiated the events and means the immediate removal of Jean-Louis Gasset.
The results in the other groups favored the ‘elephants’ and they went into the second round as fourth best third. That is, as the worst third of the best. Your rival will be Senegalwho won all the games, defended the title and flew to the green.
Petition to the French Football Federation
Although a priori Emerse Faé will act as interim coach, the Ivorian federation is making a desperate attempt to secure the ‘transfer’ of Renard, current France women’s coach. The idea is not for him to resign from his position, but instead to make it compatible with the current Africa Cup, reports L’Equipe.
CAN winner with Zambia (2012) and then with Ivory Coast (2015), former Morocco coach (2016-2019), Renard knows very well all the teams still in the competition, their strengths and weaknesses. CAN could experience an incredible scenario if the FFF accepts this extraordinary situation. This is the ‘last bullet’ to try to win the house.
The country made a huge economic investment to organize the event, and so far its participation is a complete disaster, something they want to change by taking advantage of Renard, also known as the ‘miracle man’ in Africa. There are many things to say about the Africa Cup, but it never ceases to amaze us.
