The Gabonese Football Federation (Fegafoot) is considering replacing coach Paulo Duarte following Gabon’s failure to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. The Ministry of Sports is also pushing for a change. The decision on the timing of the replacement is challenging, but it is likely to occur after the upcoming electoral period, allowing a new coach to be appointed under the new executive following the transfer of power within the Fegafoot standardization committee. Paulo Duarte has faced criticism for the team’s recent poor performance, including failing to qualify for the last Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) and the 2014 World Cup play-offs.
