Unlike his desire to lead the next two games of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers at the head of Mali, Patrice Carteron will eventually follow all that far. This was decided by the FEMAFOOT (Malian Football Federation). The Vice-President Moussa Konate, in an interview with Malifootball.com confirms that Amadou Pathé Diallo, Assistant of Carteron will play the interim. The latter will direct his first as of Tuesday against the UK team.

“No, he will not be there because, as I have told you, he is already engaged with TP Mazembe and he gave us an official letter to say he did not want to continue working with us. So from this point, we have to take steps to ensure that the atmosphere is not polluted and that stability remains intact, “said Konate. He also adds that keeping the former coach of Dijon at the head of the Eagles would be an insult vis-à-vis the Malian public: “There is a paradox, as you see yourself, but his decision to break suddenly and unilaterally the contract affects the stability rules of a contract. We did not choose to replace him; we are forced into an emergency to look for a leader. Someone who signs a contract and says he no longer wants to continue his contract unilaterally, how can you continue to trust this person? What speech could he deliver in order to motivate his players? And with respect to our public is it will be an insult to let Mr Carteron, after all his monstrous deeds, lead our national team! “

The FEMAFOOT hired a showdown with its coach by filing an application to FIFA.
