Libya coach Adel Amrouche has left his post with just days before their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Nigeria.
The Libya Observer, referring to sources close to the Libyan Football Federation, has reported that six months of unpaid wages and unhappiness among the players at the coach's methods had prompted his exit.
Omar Al-Miryami, the local coach who Amrouche replaced in May, is a contender to take charge of the team for both games against Nigeria on October 13 in Uyo and October 15 in Tunisia, according to the report.
Amrouche's first and only game in charge was last month's 0-0 draw away to South Africa which consolidated Libya's position as group leaders with four points from two games.
