In the second recent coaching change for an African squad, Ivory Coast head coach Vahid Halilhodzic was fired due to the team's crappy performance (failing to reach the quarterfinals) at the African Cup of Nations.
Ivorian Football Federation president Jacques Anouma made that big announcement on Saturday on the state-owned television station (which sounds like thrilling television if you ask me).
A new coach should be announced in the coming days for the upcoming World Cup.
Halilhodzic had taken over after Uli Stielike of Germany was fired following a fourth-place finish at the African Cup two years ago.
We shall see if Ivory Coast learns from Nigeria's mistakes (see earlier post) and hires a new coach, not someone that was fired in the past.
Best of luck to the new coach too as Ivory Coast is what has unanimously picked as the Group of Death: Group G has North Korea, Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast. Feel better now about the U.S.A's draw?
