Ivory Coast was embarrassed 4-0 by the impressive Equatorial Guinea which has led to Ivory Coast waiting for so many matches to be completed before the Elephants know their fate.
Fans of the host nation reacted by destroying things and using all sorts of insults and abusive words towards the team.
French tactician Jean Louis Gasset has thought twice and resigned in the middle of the tournament as Ivory Coast will progress if Morocco defeats Zambia on Wednesday night.
“The Ivorian Football Federation has appointed Emerse Faè as an interim head coach.
“The Ivorian FA regrets the team’s performance but calls for unity and support as they prepare for upcoming challenges”, an official statement read.
70-year-old Jean-Louis Gasset has to blame himself for the situation he finds himself in as he left winger Wilfred Zaha home and sent injured duo Sebastien Haller and Simon Adingra who is yet to kick a ball for the Elephants to the AFCON. The former Saint Etienne manager has won one game and lost two in the AFCON.
