Ivory Coast Football Federation Takes Decisive Action Following AFCON 2023 Struggles
In a surprising move during the ongoing AFCON 2023, Ivory Coast has parted ways with their head coach, Jean Louis Gasset. The decision stems from the team's lackluster performance in the tournament hosted by the nation.
The Ivory Coast national team kicked off their AFCON journey impressively with a 2-0 victory over Guinea. However, their fortunes took a downturn as they faced a 1-0 defeat against Nigeria in their second match. The disappointment continued in the group stage finale, concluding with a humbling 4-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea.
Côte D'Ivoire ultimately secured a third-place finish in their group, marked by one victory and two defeats. This position leaves them on the precipice of elimination, though there remains a slim possibility for the team to qualify for the round of 16 as one of the third-best teams.
The Ivory Coast Football Federation's swift decision to relieve Jean Louis Gasset of his coaching duties underscores the high stakes and expectations surrounding the AFCON 2023, adding a layer of intrigue to the tournament's unfolding narrative.
