Emerse Faé, recently appointed head coach of the Ivory Coast national football team, has revealed that he has not yet formalized his contract, citing ongoing salary negotiations. The former FC Nantes and OGC Nice player made this significant announcement during his appearance on La 3 on Wednesday evening, shedding light on the current status of his coaching agreement with the Elephants.
Despite the official announcement of his appointment, Faé clarified, “I have not yet signed a contract, even if it is recorded. The salary has not yet been determined.”
This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the coaching transition for the Ivory Coast national team. Faé further outlined his upcoming plans, stating, “I’m going to France for a week.
When I return, there will be a press conference to give all the details. So, in 2 weeks at the latest.”
The delay in contract signing and the uncertainty surrounding the salary negotiations have prompted discussions within the football community.
Journalist Malick Traoré highlighted the ongoing situation, stating, “No contract yet signed between Emerse Faé, his staff, and the FIF.
If the duration of the contract could be 2 years + 2 optional, the question of salary gets stuck.” Traoré’s insights suggest that the negotiations are not only focused on the duration of Faé’s coaching tenure but also revolve around the financial terms.
This development adds an intriguing layer to Faé’s journey as the head coach of the Ivory Coast national team, as fans and football enthusiasts eagerly await the resolution of these crucial contract negotiations.
The outcome will likely set the tone for Faé’s tenure and impact the trajectory of the Elephants under his leadership.
