LAMOUCHI STAYING
Despite the elimination of Ivory Coast from the African cup of nations at the quarter-final stage itself, the manager of the national team, Sabri Lamouchi has said that he will not be resigning from his post. He has also said that he believes Ivory Coast have a good tournament.
Ivory Coast have been the favourites to lift the African cup of nations for quite a while now. This has been due to the presence of several high profile players like Didier Drogba and Yaya Touré, but they have failed to deliver this trophy. Ivory Coast were last successful in this tournament back in 1992.
