The 48-year old is doing a great job since being appointed Leopards coach in 2022.

He led Chancel Mbemba and teammates to a fourth-place finish in the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.

“Despite the remarkable efforts of Sébastien Desabre to restore the image and straighten out the leopards, with good results and a much healthier environment, including an exemplary organization, I learn that he is falling far behind in his salary”, Ilunga wrote on X.

Malgré les efforts remarquables de Sébastien Desabre pour redorer l’image et redresser les léopards, avec de bons résultats et un environnement beaucoup plus sain, dont une organisation exemplaire, j’apprends qu’il accuse un retard inconsidérable de salaire !!!

“How can we show a good image of the country, as was the case in Ivory Coast, and continue to build the most efficient team by attracting, among others, dual nationals?

“How can we continue to demand excellence without respecting our commitments? I dare to hope that this situation will be resolved as quickly as possible, thanks to the intervention of the competent authorities to avoid diving back into our usual faults”
