Gabon sports minister Alain-Claude Bilie By-Nze has instructed the Federation of Gabonese Football (Fegafoot) to terminate Panthers coach Daniel Cousin’s contract following failure to qualify for Afcon.
Gabon missed out on a ticket to Egypt 2019 at the last qualifying hurdle following a 1-1 draw away in Burundi.
This left Cousin’s job hanging, and the country’s sports minister has ordered Fegafoot to terminate his contract and begin the search for his replacement.
“We have given Fegafoot the mission to put an end to the contract of the current coach,” By-Nze was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
