Coach threatens to dump Stallions

Share

BURKINA Faso coach, Paulo Duarte says he will quit if the country's football federation does not change its ways.

The Portuguese was speaking after the Stallions' elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations after losing 2-0 to Ivory Coast on Thursday.

Burkina Faso has lost both its games at the tournament and can no longer advance to the last eight.

"If the federation don't change, I go," he told BBC Sport.

Duarte is unhappy with the way the federation has handled issues of nationality for his squad.

Cameroon-born Herve Zengue was one of several players to miss the finals, despite the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejecting a Namibian claim that he was ineligible to play for the Stallions.
