It seems Sabri Lamouchi, the coach of the Ivory Coast national team, is taking a different approach compared to Stephen Keshi, the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. While Keshi revealed his preselected list of 30 players for the 2014 World Cup ahead of the May 13 deadline, Lamouchi is opting to wait until the last moment before announcing his final squad.
According to reports from Afrik-foot, Lamouchi intends to keep the list of 23 players who will travel to Brazil for the World Cup under wraps until the deadline. He plans to announce the squad through a press conference in Abidjan, the capital of Ivory Coast.
This decision to delay the announcement could be a strategic move by Lamouchi to carefully assess the fitness and form of his players before finalizing the squad. By waiting until the deadline, he ensures that he has the most up-to-date information available to make informed decisions about the composition of the team.
As the anticipation builds, fans and pundits will have to wait until the last moment to discover the players who will represent the Ivory Coast in the prestigious tournament in Brazil.
