Article of the day: TITI KONE IN LIGUE 1 IVOIRIAN

Now solicited in the Malian capital through the sports agent Bakary Sanogo, with the aim of setting up an academy called Team BS, in partnership with FC Nantes in France, coach Sebago is at work. Indeed, this trainer of Ivorian nationality is seducing the Malian public thanks to the quality of his remarkable talent through the training of young talents who are illustrated by big performances during friendly matches. 

Coach Sebago began his training as a sports educator in 1999 and 2000, he was initially in charge of young people whose age range varies from 12 to 14 years old. Subsequently, thanks to his rigor and talent, coach Sebago built a reputation beyond the Ivorian borders.  Indeed, he managed to hoist many of his foals in the Ivorian Ligue 1.

Regarding the talents of this sports educator, Coach Sebago is a "talented midwife" who is distinguished by humility and wisdom. His experiences as a trainer actually reveal the fact that he is "a library" of African training despite his young age. Indeed, in his coaching history, he has already had to hold the reins of several teams such as :

- CFKA Lion star of Koumassi 
- ASAB of Bonoua 
- Espoirs de Koumassi Ligue 3 (head coach) 
- With RFCA Aboisso Ligue 2 Ivorian (head coach just for the climb) 
 

The transfer window for coaches in Ivorian clubs is in full swing. The latest concerns Coach Oulaï Guy Arsène who arrives at the US Farmer of Agnibilekrou. Coach Oulaï Guy Arsène previously held this position within the formation of Songon Football Club. 

After the resignation of Coach Akim, former coach of US Fermier, the President of the club set his sights on the newcomer. Indeed, as indicated by the publication emanating from the Agnibilekrou formation : "The president of the club with his management team had to study a lot of manager files to compensate for the departure of the previous coach. The final choice is made on the former coach of the Coach team OULAÏ GUY ARSÈNE, who leaves his suitcases in the beautiful city."

One of the reasons for his appointment to this position is related to his experience in the field. As the President of the farmers pointed out: "Coach Oulaï Guy is not the most perfect coach but he nevertheless arrives in our team with a bag full of experience. He has a minimum of knowledge of the senior league." 

The mission of coach Oulaï Guy Arsène will be to lead US Fermiers to better results on the national scene. Currently 9th in Pool B, the new strong man of the farmers wants to "recreate a winning atmosphere in his group with a philosophy of play based on tactical discipline. " 

For his baptism of fire, coach Oulaï Guy Arsène will officiate on the farmers' bench during a National Cup match against the ADFCA formation of Adzopé on January 27.

As a reminder, coach Oulaï Guy went through CO Monojoce, IFER, Séé Sport de San Pedro, CO Korogho which he led in Ligue 1, Fc Songon.

Appointed head coach of Wigan Athlétic, Championship club (Barclays Premier League), the former Ivorian international, Kolo Touré has a difficult start. Indeed, Kolo Touré's debut with Wigan is not famous. In his first three outings in the Championship, his team has a record of two defeats and one draw. The latest defeat to date is this Monday against Middlesbrough (4-1) on the road. Ranked 23rd out of 24 clubs in the Championship with 24 points after 24 games, could Kolo Toure save Wigan from relegation this season ? 

Converted coach since the end of his football career, Kolo Touré is carving his way towards achieving the goals of his new professional life. The former Ivorian international dreams big for his career as a technician and does not hide it. He has given himself a crazy bet but above all with the ambition to change the mentality of club owners, vis-à-vis African coaches. 

Taking the reins of Wigan, Kolo Touré, for this experience as head coach in the Championship, accumulates in 3 games, two defeats and a draw. This lackluster record of the holder of the "UEFA Pro Level 5 License of the English Federation." High graduation that gives the Ivorian "the right to coach in the different levels of the English championships" and "especially to lead any football team around the world.", the player trained at the Academy of ASEC Mimosas continues to write his story. 

It is by design that "He wants to be a pioneer in a field where African technicians are the most minimized, especially lifting a world title with an African national selection." - Comments extracted from the media Africa Foot United. 

Touting his career goals, Kolo Touré proudly claimed: "As soon as I stopped football I said I want to become a coach. My main goal is to win the World Cup with an African team. It's my dream and that's why I became a coach because you need people to dream, you need people to break barriers and today is our generation. »

Dressed in their training gear, the young athletes of Matra Football Club Treichville gave a special touch to the Christmas celebration. Communicating on the social network Facebook, the boarders did not fail to leave the following message: "May the magic, peace and joy of Christmas fill your hearts.

Located in the town of Treichville, more precisely in the Biafra district, the Matra Football Club Treichville has existed since 1986. Young boys and girls train in the categories U10, U11, U17,... in order to refine their technical skills and tactical advice.

Election of the next president of the FIF (Ivorian Football Federation), a debate that raises great questions.

While a majority of Ivorians back the former Elephants captain's candidacy, others say ex-international Didier Drogba simply has no place at the helm of FIF. This is the case of the sports journalist Martial Bohourou who had launched spades at the former captain the day after the inauguration of the Abdoulaye Wade stadium in Senegal, declaring this:
"He was present in Dakar but absent in Abidjan during the inauguration of the Allassane Ouattara Olympic stadium in Ebumpé (...) Tuesday, February 22, 2022 during the inauguration of the Abdoulaye Wade stadium in Senegal, he arranged his schedule to be there. But when it comes to the inauguration of the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium in Ebimpé, in his country he was abroad”

And this Monday, April 11, 2022, the journalist again tackled the former captain by declaring that we must sanction Drogba for having violated the electoral code.

How far will he go in his attacks against Didier Drogba, whose candidacy for the election of the new president of the FIF he does not approve of?
