Patrice Carteron, despite his reported resignation from the position of coach for the Malian national football team (Eagles), has encountered a conflict with the Malian Football Federation (FMF). His resignation was rejected by the president of the FMF, leading to a tense situation between Carteron and the football authorities in Mali.
In response to this situation, Carteron expressed his willingness to fulfill his coaching duties for the next two matches in June, which are part of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. He stated that he understands the legal standpoint that, as long as his resignation is not accepted, he is still considered the coach of Mali. Therefore, he is prepared to lead the team in the upcoming matches against Rwanda and Benin if required.
This conflict raises questions about the management of coaching transitions and communication within football federations. The outcome will depend on negotiations and decisions made by both parties involved.
