After publishing the list of players scheduled to take part in the 3rd day of the World Cup qualifiers for Brazil 2014, Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi held a press conference on Monday. The French technician addressed the recent elimination of the Elephants at the CAN in South Africa, taking sole responsibility for the failure.
“I am solely responsible for the failure of the Elephants at CAN 2013, and I take responsibility for it!!” exclaimed the Elephants coach.
For the upcoming match between Ivory Coast and Gambia, Sabri Lamouchi decided to leave captain Didier Drogba on the bench. The reasons for this decision were not explicitly stated, leading to speculation about Drogba’s recent performance at the CAN or potential conflicts within the team.
