**Claude Leroy’s Future with Congo in Doubt as Contract Nears Expiry**
As his contract with the Congolese Football Federation approaches its expiry in December, the future of French coach Claude Leroy is under scrutiny. Despite a notable quarter-final finish with the Red Devils at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Leroy’s recent performance has raised questions about his tenure.
Leroy, who also serves as the head coach of Congo’s U23 team, was entrusted with a specific mission at the African Games in Brazzaville — to secure at least a bronze medal in the football tournament. However, the team finished in fourth place, falling short of expectations. According to *Les Dépêches de Brazzaville*, the failure to meet this target has led to growing doubts among Congolese officials about renewing Leroy’s contract.
With his future uncertain, the French coach now faces the challenge of securing his position ahead of the contract deadline.
