Emerse Faé’s confirmation as the head coach of the Ivory Coast national football team comes as no surprise after a brief interim period.
The announcement was made by Idriss Diallo, the president of the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF), at the headquarters of Orange Côte d’Ivoire in Abidjan this Monday.
Stepping into the interim role following Jean-Louis Gasset’s departure, Faé garnered unanimous approval for his adept management of the team, orchestrating a remarkable transformation.
In a remarkably short time, Faé led the Elephants to victory in the CAN 2023 tournament.
The official confirmation of Faé’s continued leadership on the Ivorian bench was delivered by FIF president Yacine Idriss Diallo, who expressed enthusiasm about the decision.
Despite his relatively brief tenure, Faé’s impact was profound, clinching success in the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations with two wins and two draws in regulation time, including a qualification in penalties and another in overtime.
“I’m going to make an announcement to you. Emerse Faé, who is the interim coach, has just been confirmed today as the starting coach here at Orange.” declared the Ivorian football boss enthusiastically.
With just four matches at the helm, Emerse Faé’s coaching prowess shone through, solidifying his position as the head coach and marking a promising chapter for Ivorian football under his guidance.
