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.
