It’s over between Tom Saintfiet and Gambia. After five years of collaboration, the Belgian left his position as coach following the elimination of the Scorpions from the CAN, this Saturday January 23. It was at a press conference that the now ex-coach of Gambia announced the news: “I want to announce that this is my last match as Gambia coach, I have a contract until August 2026 but it is time for me to leave. »
The 50-year-old coach admitted to turning to “another project” and suggested that his 7-year-old daughter does not want to see him set off on a new adventure. Arriving in 2018 at the head of the Gambian selection, Tom Saintfiet, whose professional playing career was cut short by six cruciate ligament ruptures, offers the first qualification for the CAN in the history of the Scorpions in 2022. “Thank you for your service boss. Ultimately, Gambia will be missing a great tactician. Five and a half years of incredible service rendered to our nation, qualifying for two consecutive CAN was not a coincidence”declared the Gambian federation.
