The competition for the position of coach of the Togo national team appears to be intense, with notable candidates vying for the role. Among them are French coaches such as Jean Michel Cavalli, Noel Tosi, Hubert Velud, and Didier Six. Additionally, Franck Dumas, the current coach of Arles-Avignon, has entered the fray, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his extensive football career and coaching tenure in French football.
Dumas, aged 46, has enjoyed a successful coaching career, particularly during his time at SM Caen, where he spent over 7 years and developed notable players like Yoan Gouffran, Youssef Al Arabi, and Romain Hamouma. His decision to pursue an African coaching experience aligns with his ambition to further develop his coaching credentials.
Despite facing formidable competition, including the likes of the renowned German coach Lothar Matthaus, Dumas remains a strong contender for the position. As the deadline for submitting applications approaches on March 25, the Togo Football Federation secretariat is expected to carefully review all candidates before making a decision on the next coach of the Togo national team.
