Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) hosts Ivory Coast have sacked their coach midway through the tournament, the country’s football federation (FIF) has announced.

A statement from FIF explained that “the contracts of Coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his assistant Ghislain Printant are terminated due to insufficient results“.

He’s not the first coach to leave their team partway through Afcon – Ghana‘s coach Chris Hughton was sacked on Tuesday, while Tanzania‘s Adel Amrouche has been suspended.

Gambia’s coach Tom Saintfiet equally resigned after his team suffered a group-stage exit.
