With three defeats in as many games at the Olympic football tournamentKaba Diawara knew he was under threat and the decision of Féguifoot was not long in coming. The Guinean technician and his staff were thanked for not achieving the objectives, namely placing the Guinea in the ” 10 best African nations“, we can read in the press release of the governing body.
Appointed interim following the dismissal of Didier Six in November 2021the former PSG striker led the Syli to the CAN in Cameroon at the start of 2022, before being permanently installed in April of the same year. Coach of the A then the U 23, the native of Toulon has a cumulative record of 13 wins, 7 draws and 16 defeats.
Overall, the results are insufficient to convince the leaders of Féguifoot, who have just set up a provisional board of directors until November. This board is led by the former Sily boss Michel Dussuyer, and the coach is a former assistant to Kaba Diawara, Charles Paquille. The objective is to qualify Guinea for the CAN in Morocco.
