The Gabonese Football Federation (FEGAFOOT) has confirmed that national team coach Daniel Cousin and former international midfielder Levy Madinda are participating in a FIFA coaching course designed for national team managers. The course, part of FIFA's Coach Education Scholarship programme, aims to enhance the technical capabilities of federation technical directors and national team coaches.
Reports from Gabonese media indicate that former national team captain and defender Bruno Ecuele Manga has also been selected to attend this elite training. Ecuele Manga, who earned over 70 caps for Gabon and recently retired from professional play, is beginning his transition into coaching.
The FIFA course provides high-level instruction on modern football tactics, management, and development strategies. Participation is seen as a key step for coaches aiming to lead national teams at major international tournaments.
This initiative underscores FIFA's ongoing efforts to develop football leadership globally. The selection of these Gabonese figures highlights the federation's investment in cultivating homegrown coaching talent for the future of the national team.
