Following approval by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS), The Gambia is soliciting applications for the vacant position of head coach of the senior national team from 2024 to 2026, according to news reaching The Point Sports Desk

The Scorpions are currently without a coach following the sudden resignation of Tom Saintfiet after The Gambia’s shock elimination from the 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.

The Gambia had lost to Senegal 3-0 in their opening group match before losing to Guinea Conakry 1-0 in their second group match.

The Scorpions slipped to Cameroon 3-2 in their third and final group match.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) and The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) are both looking forward to select a good coach for The Gambia senior national team.

Meanwhile, the new head coach will prepare The Gambia senior national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
