Amir Abdou Set To Quit As Comoros Coach

Amir Abdou is set to leave his role as Comoros national team head coach, with a mutual termination of his contract nearing an agreement.

The 49-year-old was appointed in January 2014, and guided Comoros to their historical qualification for their maiden Africa Cup of Nations last year.

According to sources in Moroni, Abdou will not his extend his contract with the Comoros FA when it expires, to focus on his role as FC Nouadhibou’s mentor.

The Franco-Comorian coach’s deal is set to expire in July 2022 but it’s understood he has disclosed to his associates that his final match as Coelacanths coach will be friendly against Ethiopia on March 21.

However, Comoros Football Association (FFC) has indicated that it would like to continue the adventure with the technician.

Abdou attracted the attention of many African teams after guiding Comoros to the Round of 16 of the continental championship.

Comoros were rated one of the best performing teams in Cameroon after the team’s fine display of skill.

The departure of Abdou is once again likely to cause a crisis with few months remaining to the beginning of 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Abdou began his coaching career early with the youth ranks and while coaching French 6th tier side Golfech Saint Paul, he was appointed as Comoros coach.
