Guinea have had more than 80 candidates applying to become the new national coach, according to the country's football authority (Feguifoot). Former boss Kanfory 'Lappe' Bangoura was sacked last month after Guinea’s early exit from the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Morocco. "More than 80 applicants with a lot of football experience have applied to be coach of Syli A and B," Feguifoot announced in a statement. Bangoura was in charge of the main Guinea squad as well as the locally-based team (CHAN team), but Feguifoot now plan to appoint different coaches for both posts. "It's important to note that among the applicants, another coach will be picked to lead the local team (CHAN team).
