Didier Six, the coach of the Togo national football team, succeeded in leading the team to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), narrowly missing a spot in the semi-finals. Despite the commendable achievement, there are criticisms from some players, including Emmanuel Adebayor and Alaixys Romao, regarding tactical choices in the quarter-final match against Burkina Faso.
Emmanuel Adebayor expressed disappointment in the team’s defensive approach and claimed that suggestions to bring in a second striker were not heeded. Alaixys Romao echoed the sentiment, mentioning a lack of offensive energy and the belief that the team could have performed better.
The players’ comments raise questions about Didier Six’s coaching decisions, and there is uncertainty about whether he should continue leading the team. Adebayor mentioned that his decision to continue playing for the national team depends on problem resolutions and better organization.
Despite the debate surrounding Six’s coaching, there is acknowledgment of the positive moments he brought to the team, reaching the quarter-finals being a notable achievement. The coming hours and discussions within the federation will likely determine the future of Didier Six as the coach of the Togo national football team.
