It seems that Didier Six, the coach of the Togo national football team (Eperviers), did not return with the delegation after their match against Cameroon in the World Cup qualifiers. Instead, he remained in Yaoundé to engage in discussions with Cameroonian football authorities regarding the possibility of taking charge of the Indomitable Lions.
According to reports, Didier Six eventually returned to Lomé on Monday. His situation has been complicated, with criticism from some Togo team executives, including Emmanuel Adebayor and Agassa Kossi. There have been conflicts with the federation, including modifications to the team list.
Didier Six had expressed challenges in finding a job in Africa during an appearance on the “Talents d’Afrique” show on Canal+. He had previously applied for the coaching position for Senegal’s national team (Teranga Lions), but the authorities chose Alain Giresse instead.
Despite the challenges, Didier Six had achieved notable success in his first year of coaching, qualifying Togo for the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) and guiding the team to the knockout stage, a feat not accomplished since 1972.
The dynamics of coaching in African football can be complex, and it will be interesting to see how Didier Six’s career unfolds. If you have any specific questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to ask!
