After Côte d’Ivoire failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and was elimination from the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon at the round of 16, French manager Patrice Beaumelle, has left his post as the manager of Elephants, BSNsports.com.ng gathered

The 43-year-old’s contract expired during the week after which he posted an image of himself at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, during the friendly match against France in March. The picture was simply captioned “thank you.”

Beaumelle has held the position for the last two years, having been appointed in March 2020, having also had a stint (2014-2015) as assistant manager with the West African nation.

The next executive committee of the Ivorian Football Federation, whose election is in the pipeline, will likely select a new manager before qualification for AFCON 2023 begins, a tournament that will be hosted by Ivory Coast.
