Syli National executives protest against the dismissal of Kaba Diawara!
Kaba Diawara, coach of the Guinea national team and the U23s for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, was dismissed by the Guinean Football Federation (Feguifoot) on Sunday evening, causing great surprise. The executives of Sily National expressed their discontent.
Abdoulaye Touré, defensive midfielder for Le Havre (Ligue 1) and recent international who played in the 2023 CAN, spoke on Instagram, hoping that the news is false: “I hope this is FALSE!!!!”. Mohamed Bayo also expressed his incomprehension via emojis.
Amadou Diawara, another member of the team, thanked the technician by posting a photo with him and a message: “Thank you coach for everything. You are an example of patriotism”. Naby Keita, the team captain, also expressed his gratitude, writing: “Thank you very much coach”Despite their elimination in the quarter-finals by the Democratic Republic of Congo (3-1) during the CAN 2023, Kaba Diawara had a historic run in Côte d'Ivoire.
However, elimination in the group stages without any points at the Olympics seems to have sealed his fate.
To replace him, a new board of directors has been set up to lead Sily National. This board of directors is composed of Charles Paquille, former assistant to the national coach, and Souleymane Camara “Abedi”, current coach of Syli A', under the supervision of National Technical Director (DTN) Lappé Bangoura and former coach Michel Dussuyer, until at least November 2024.
