After a 24-hour imbroglio, Sébastien Desabre will be the new DR Congo coach ! While the announcement of his appointment on Saturday by the Congolese Football Federation (Fecofa) had created tensions with his club Niort, the Chamois announced on Sunday that they had reached an agreement with the technician to terminate his contract. In the process, the 46-year-old confirmed his arrival on the Leopards bench.
« I am very happy to announce that I am the new coach of the DRC. I thank the management of the Chamois Niortais, the players, my staff, the whole club and the supporters for the two rewarding years“wrote the French on Twitter.
After Uganda (2017-2019), it will be the 2e coaching experience in Africa for Desabre, who succeeds Hector Cuper, sacked after the two defeats to start the CAN 2023 qualifiers.
