Mali: Florent Ibenge close to becoming Eagles head coach

Malian football could soon enter a new era, with Congolese coach Florent Ibenge emerging as the leading candidate to take charge of the national team.

Malian soccer is poised to turn a new page in its history.

According to multiple sources, Congolese coach Florent Ibenge is the Malian Football Federation’s top choice to take the reins of the national team.

Currently coaching Azam FC in Tanzania, the Leopoldville native has a solid reputation across the African continent, particularly for his tactical discipline and his ability to bring out the best in his teams.

For the Eagles of Mali, this choice signals a clear desire to take a significant step forward on the international stage.

A former iconic coach of the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with whom he won a bronze medal at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Ibenge would bring valuable experience at the highest level.
