The disappointing performance of Côte d’Ivoire during this African Cup of Nations is not without consequences for the host country.
Three small points, an initial victory in the opening match before two humiliating defeats: Ivory Coast is one of the great disappointments of this African Cup of Nations.
Like Algeria, the Elephants did not meet expectations in this tournament. A total disillusionment for a great African football nation, which prided itself on being the host country of the competition.
Gasset, it’s over!
The Ivory Coast’s difficulties during this group stage were not without consequences since the Ivorian Federation decided to exclude Jean-Louis Gasset. The former Saint-Etienne coach was dismissed from his position in the middle of the competition. A choice all the more radical as Seko Fofana and his teammates still have hope of qualifying for the round of 16, despite their chaotic journey. If they validate their ticket, the Elephants will be led by Emerse Faé, Gasset’s assistant since the start of the tournament.
