Soccer-Six is out as Mauritius coach sacked

CAPE TOWN, May 25 (Reuters) - Former France international Didier Six has been sacked as coach of Mauritius just five months after taking charge of the tiny Indian Ocean island.

Mauritius Football Association president Sameer Sobha told reporters on Monday that Six had said he did not want to continue in the job after his side lost to Zimbabwe last week in the regional Cosafa Cup tournament, a championship for Southern African nations.

"He informally said that he didn't want to continue after the defeat against Zimbabwe in the Cosafa Cup," Sobha was quoted by the BBC.
