FRENCHMAN Patrice Beaumelle has been appointed as the new coach of Cote d’Ivoire.
The 41-year-old replaces Ibrahim Kamara, who left the post by mutual consent in February.
It is a return to Cote d’Ivoire for Beaumelle, as he was assistant to his compatriot Herve Renard when the Elephants won the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
He has worked extensively with Renard and was his assistant when Zambia won the title three years earlier, in 2012. Before moving to join Renard with the Elephants he was head coach of Chipolopolo for nine months.
He continued to work with Renard after Cote d’Ivoire at French club Lille and the Moroccan national team.
