Following the dismissal of Paulo Duarte, the Gabonese Football Federation (Fegafoot) is in the process of selecting a new coach for the Gabon Panthers. Although Fegafoot had initially called for applications, the search for the desired profile has extended beyond the local scene, with a focus on Europe.
While the name of Paul Le Guen, a former coach of Lyon (France) and Cameroon, has been mentioned, there has been no official confirmation. The search for the new Gabonese coach extends beyond France, with interest also coming from Belgium and Portugal. The process highlights the international scope of the search for a coach with the right qualifications and experience to lead the Gabon national team.
