Sources: Le Roy set for Ivory Coast job

Congo-Brazzaville head coach, Claude Le Roy, could be set to join Afcon Champions, Cote di'Ivoire, according to the latest information reaching the Joy Sports team.

The Cote d’Ivoire Football Federation had reportedly received 55 applications for the vacant head coach role, however that list trimmed down to just five names last month.

Portuguese coach, Paulo Duarte, Polish manager, Henryk Kasperczak, French trio of Patrice Neveu, Frédéric Antonetti and Michel Dussuye were all reportedly on the five-man shortlist.

However, sources in Abidjan confirm that the Ivorian FA have received an application from one of Leroy's representatives and a deal could be announced soon.

Le Roy, a former Ghana coach himself, led Congo-Brazzaville to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, where they eventually lost out to DR Congo.
