Desabre named new DR Congo coach
Sebastien Desabre has been appointed as the new coach of DR Congo after the Frenchman ended his contract at Chamois Niortais.
The 46-year-old succeeds Argentine Hector Cuper, who was sacked in June after the Leopards lost their first two qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Chamois Niortais had threatened legal action after Desabre was named as DR Congo coach on Saturday, with the club saying it had “never been in contact” with the Central African country’s football federation (Fecofa).
However, the French Ligue 2 outfit announced it had agreed to terminate Desabre’s contract on Sunday.
“I am very happy to announce that I am the new coach of DR Congo,” Desabre tweeted.
“I thank the management of Chamois Niortais, the players, my staff, the whole club and the supporters for two rewarding years.” Read More...
