Jean-Louis Gasset was sacked as coach of 2023 Africa Cup of Nations hosts Ivory Coast on Wednesday, two days after their 4-0 defeat against Equatorial Guinea.
It was the heaviest home defeat in Ivory Coast history.

That loss left the Elephants with slim hopes of progressing to the last 16.
However, Morocco’s win over Zambia later on Wednesday meant Ivory Coast snuck in as one of the best third-placed teams.
They face champions Senegal, who have won every game, in the knockout stages.

Ivory Coast will be led by Emerse Fae, one of Gasset’s coaches, on an interim basis.
