BetOdds Burkina Faso Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

The Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF) made the change after Duarte failed to take the nation to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations

Kamou Malo will start his dutiesÂ as Burkina Faso head coach at the end of July after the Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF) elected not to renew the contract of Portuguese manager Paolo Duarte.

The decision was announced by the federation on Tuesday after their â€œanalysis of the situationâ€ regarding the role of the head coach going forward.

"After analysing the situation, the executive committee of the FBF took the decision to trust the local coach to lead the national team to the new challenges ahead," the federation stated.

â€œThe national football family congratulates, encourages and wishes the new national coach good luck."

Malo will be handed the task of guiding the Stallions to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, slated to be held in Cameroon, after Duarteâ€™s lack of success for the just-concluded edition in Egypt.

In last week Fridayâ€™s draw, the West Africans were placed in Group BÂ and will slug it out with Uganda, Malawi, as well as the winner between South Sudan and Seychelles in the qualifiers.
