This decision wasn’t entirely unexpected, given Le Roy’s previous threat to resign before the African Cup of Nations (CAN) due to issues related to unpaid bonuses. Although he had initially reversed his decision, the disappointing performance of the team in the CAN, coupled with challenges in communication and respect within the squad, likely contributed to his resignation.
Claude Le Roy, known as the “White Wizard,” expressed his attachment to Africa and its football. Despite the challenges, he took immense pleasure in rebuilding the team and working with players of strong personalities. Le Roy, who played in seven CAN tournaments, highlighted his affection for the continent and the impact he has had, earning him the nickname “White Wizard.”
The future remains uncertain for Claude Le Roy, who is rumored to be feeling a bit tired lately. Whether he chooses to bounce back in African football or take a different path, the sentiment is that African football owes respect to this great man who has made significant contributions to the sport on the continent.
