The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has reportedly compiled a shortlist of potential candidates to replace Emerse Fae as head coach of the national team. The news comes as the federation evaluates the team's performance and future direction.
According to sources close to the federation, the shortlist includes both local and international coaches, though no official names have been confirmed. The FIF has not made any public statement regarding the coaching change, and Fae's contract status remains unclear.
Emerse Fae, a former Ivorian international, took over as interim coach in early 2024 and led the team to victory in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on home soil in February 2024. However, recent results have reportedly prompted the federation to consider a change.
The FIF is expected to make a decision in the coming weeks, with the next international window approaching. Fans and analysts are watching closely to see who will be chosen to lead the Elephants.
