The Gambia is set to announce a new senior national team coach soon, according to news reaching The Point Sports Desk.

Five coaches are currently vying for the vacant Gambia senior national team coach position.

The Scorpions are presently without a coach since the resignation of Tom Saintfiet after The Gambia’s early exit from the 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.

The Gambia is expected to play against Seychelles and Gabon in their 2026 World Cup qualifier matches in June 2024.

The Scorpions occupy second-place from bottom in Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers without a point after two qualifier matches.

The Gambia slipped to Burundi 3-2 in their opening qualifier match before losing to Ivory Coast 2-0 in their second qualifier match.
