Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet has more ideas. He took over the selection in 2018, as he explains today in the columns of the Team. The Gambia were 172nd in the FIFA rankings and had not won a match for five years.
The Belgian immediately aimed to qualify the team for an African Cup of Nations, thing done! Gambia is even in the quarter-finals of the competition, a real surprise for this nation which is about to challenge the host country of the competition.
In the columns of the sports daily, Tom Saintfiet goes further and plans to win the event. For this, he would have liked to count the midfielder of ASSE, Mahdi Camara in his ranks. Despite his advances, the player trained in Saint-Étienne chose to stay in Forez to help the club: “I said to Mahdi Camara: “When you are with us, we will be African champions”. He must be thinking: “Why haven’t I been there?” He made the choice to stay with ASSE .”
It is therefore without Camara that The Gambia will have to achieve a new feat this Saturday at 5:00 p.m., against the Cameroon of Harold Moukoudi and Yvan Neyou.
