The Gambia national team fans have called on the country’s football association, Gambia Football Federation (GFF) to rehire Belgian coach Paul Put.
The 61-year-old resigned from his job as Harambee Stars coach on February 19, 2018 citing personal reasons.
According to the local media in the West African nation, Gambians who remember the good old days of Put as coach of the Scorpions urged GFF and the government to rehire him.
“The Gambia has no coach at the moment and government and the GFF should rush to get him before he goes somewhere else,” one commentator was quoted on the local daily.
After a four-year stint in West Africa, Put was fired in November 2011 for failing to lead Gambia to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
He is also mong 23 coaches shortlisted for the vacant Guinea national team job.
