Qatar 2022 Qualifier: CAR appoint new Coach for Super Eagles

 Few weeks to the kick-off of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Central African Republic (CAR) has announced a new head coach.

The Central African senior national team has been without a gaffer for quite some time but the country football governing body yesterday announced Switzerland-born Raoul Savoy as the new handler of the team.

Savoy is not new to the team as he has been with them twice in the past: 2014 and 2017 and he is expected to commence work immediately.

His first assignment is to release the list of players that will prosecute the double-header qualifying matches slated for September.

The central African Republic will commence its campaign in the qualifier away from home when they face Cape Verde before hosting Nigeria’s Super Eagles a few days later in matchday two.

  Doctors, under the aegis of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), have unanimously decided to continue their strike which began on August 2.

NARD’s National Executive Council (NEC), which met on August 25 with over 60 of its members, noted that over 140 days after it signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the government, nothing had been done to meet the demands. In a statement on Thursday, NARD President Okhuaihesuyi Uyilawa said: “The NEC noted the nonchalant attitude of appointees of the government to the suffering of Nigerian doctors. “The NEC noted that despite the ongoing strike action of 23 days, its members in 23 centres under the GIFMIS platform are yet to be migr...
