Former Comoros tactician Amir Abdou has been announced as the head coach for the national football team of Mauritania.
He replaces Frenchman Da Rosa who was sacked following a poor show in the recently concluded AFCON tournament where they only managed to score a single goal and lost all three group games to Gambia, Tunisia and Mali.
Abdou leaves Comoros after serving them for eight uninterrupted years and his most recognized achievement was leading them to the last 16 of AFCON 2021 in Cameroon.
