On the eve of the crucial match against Algeria in Group D of the Africa Cup of Nations, Didier Six, the coach of Togo, created discomfort by not attending the press conference at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. Instead, he instructed his deputy, Tchanilé Tchakala, to represent him.
Tchakala explained the delay by mentioning that they just came out of a meeting, and he admitted that he was not prepared for the impromptu role. Despite the coach’s absence, he assured that there was no problem with Didier Six.
This notable absence raises questions about the relationship between Didier Six and the Togo team. Speculations range from potential player dissatisfaction to concerns about the coach’s well-being after weeks of uncertainty leading up to the tournament. The situation adds an element of uncertainty to Togo’s campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations.
