Francois Zahoui has been appointed head coach of the Central African Republic on Tuesday, the Central African Football Federation (RCA) has confirmed.
The Ivorian, who was in charge of Niger from 2015 to 2019, replaces Swiss coach Raoul Savoy who left his role after failing to guide the Wild Beasts to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
"I confirm that Francois Zahoui will be the coach of the Central African Republic,” RCA President Celestin Yanindji stated.
“He will be paid initially from the funds of the Federation, mainly until the first two games of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, in November against Burundi and Mauritania, while waiting for the government to take over.
