Mali dismisses coach Tom Saintfiet and calls for applications

Tom Saintfiet is no longer the coach of Mali, with the Malian Football Federation (Femafoot) officially announcing his departure after nearly two years in charge of the Eagles. Despite an honorable record of 9 wins, 9 draws, and 4 losses, his credibility was damaged by a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign and comments about his interest in the Ghana coaching position. Femafoot has called for applications to find his successor.
