Dupuis: Madagascar suspend national team coach

Madagascar coach Nicolas Dupuis has been suspended for "investing more time on his commercial interest" at the expense of the national team.

The French tactician has been in charge of the Barea since March 2017 and qualified the side for their first Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt in 2019, where he led them to the quarter-finals of the tournament.

The 53-year-old, however, failed to help Madagascar qualify for the 2022 edition of the continental competition after they finished third in Group K below Ivory Coast and Ethiopia.

Dupuis has combined his role as the national team of the Barea with that of technical director of French club FC Fleury 91 since January 2019.
