It appears that the coach of the Leopards, the national team of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, expressed dissatisfaction with the scheduling of press conferences during the CAN curtain-raiser match between South Africa and Cape Verde. The coach, a French technician with significant experience in seven final stages at the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), criticized the decision to hold press conferences at the same time as matches.
His statement suggests that as coaches, they need to follow and analyze all the matches, and scheduling press conferences during game times creates a challenge for them. The coach seems to question the decision-making process of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), emphasizing that such an organization should be more considerate of the logistics and timing of important events like press conferences.
This complaint highlights the importance of effective organization and communication between tournament organizers and participating teams to ensure a smooth and well-coordinated event. It’s not uncommon for coaches and teams to voice concerns about scheduling issues, especially during major tournaments where the stakes are high.
