Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang—and Gabonese football as a whole—may soon see a turning point with the anticipated appointment of Fernando Santos as head coach. Known for his tactical rigor and international experience, including leading Greece to the 2014 World Cup, Santos could bring much-needed structure and ambition to the Gabonese national team. His arrival would mark a significant step forward after a prolonged coaching vacuum following Paulo Duarte’s dismissal and the interim stewardship of Claude Albert Mbourounot.
For a player like Aubameyang, who has publicly emphasized the need for a serious project and leadership at the national level, this development could renew his motivation to contribute fully to Gabon’s international ambitions.
