RABAT, Dec 31 (SW) – Frenchman Philippe Troussier has been removed as the manager of Morocco, despite only being appointed in late October.
Troussier had been identified as the man to lead the African nation to the next World Cup Finals in 2010, and was subsequently handed a 5-year contract.
At this stage, Troussier has made no comment on the decision, but the Moroccan Football Federation did release the following statement:
“We have deeply diverging views and unfortunately we cannot continue this way. So we put an end to the deal amicably.”
Troussier is expected to speak out on the matter within the next few days.
