Benin’s head coach, Gernot Rohr, has urged the Benin Football Federation (FBF), led by Mathurin De Chacus, to remain calm despite their recent defeat, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Cheetahs suffered a setback in their World Cup qualifying campaign after losing to South Africa’s Bafana Bafana on matchday six, putting their chances of qualification in jeopardy.

In response to the loss, Rohr and his coaching staff were summoned to an emergency meeting with the FBF on Wednesday to discuss the team’s performance.

"This was my first time meeting all the members of the Federation Executive Committee, and the meeting went well," Rohr stated.

 "Just because you lose doesn't mean you have to question everything," he added, emphasizing the need for perspective.

Benin will next face Zimbabwe’s Warriors on matchday seven as they seek to revive their qualification hopes.
