Claude Le Roy backed to develop young Togo squad with contract extension

The Togo Football Federation (TFF) have placed their belief in Claude Le Roy to build the young players of the national team by handing the Frenchman a new contract, reportedly for three years.

Le Roy has been in the job since April 2016, and has come under fire lately from the fans of the Sparrowhawks owing to just one win throughout 2019.

Despite failing to qualify the West Africans for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, re-elected president of the federation Guy Akpovi believes the 70-year-old is the best man for the job.

"Claude's contract was renewed with targets of course," asserted Akpovi, who won re-election on Saturday.
