Ivory Coast’s national coach, Sabri Lamouchi, is contemplating the left-back position for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. Expressing dissatisfaction with the performances of Siaka Tiéné and Arthur Boka in that role, Lamouchi is considering entrusting the position to Toulouse’s right-back player, Akpa Akpro. The French coach has been working with Akpa Akpro on the left flank during training sessions with the national team and aims for him to be prepared to assume the position permanently. Akpa Akpro, who usually plays on the right, is open to the idea and emphasizes his willingness to serve the team in any capacity required by the coach.
