The tension surrounding the Beninese national team and coach Manuel Amoros seems to be escalating. The president of the Beninese football federation, Anjorin Moucharafou, is accused of prohibiting Beninese players from providing statements to the Algerian press ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. The decision has reportedly led some players to decline interviews with Algerian media.
Additionally, the site lebuteur.com raises concerns about the security of the Algerian team in Cotonou, especially after the recent incident where a supporter threw a bottle of water at Benin’s national coach, Manuel Amoros. While condemning the violent act, Moucharafou did not deny the existing tension between his federation and the coach. The situation adds an extra layer of complexity to the upcoming decisive World Cup qualifiers.
