Coton Sport Sack Coach Alain Ouombleon From Ivory Coast who has received blames for the continuous defeats of the team
Coton Sport Sack Coach Alain Ouombleon
The
young Franco-Ivorian coach pays the price for a run of poor results by
last year’s beaten CAF Champions League beaten finalists. Alain
Ouombleon, who was nominated by Confederation of African Football (CAF)
as Coach of the Year, has been given the boot by Coton Sport of Garoua
after a string of poor results.He has been replaced by his assistant,
Haman Gabriel. Ouambleon, who doubles as the club’s general manager,
led Coton Sport to the final of the 2008 CAF Champions League where
they lost to Al Ahly of Egypt. However, their fortunes have dipped
sharply this year. They were dumped out of the competition in the third
round by Nigeria’s Heartland FC and have also lost out in the Cameroon
FA Cup, which they won last year.They are currently six points behind
leaders Tiko United in the Cameroon league.Ouombleon has blamed the
team’s poor run on the exit of no less than six key players like Baba
Sumaila since the end of last year.His contract was to have ended next
June.
