Copa Barry, a hero of Cote d’Ivoire’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations triumph, has returned to the national team setup after being appointed the Elephants’ goalkeeping coach.
The former Cote d’Ivoire goalkeeper will also join the technical staff led by Herve Renard as a second assistant. He will bring his experience to the national side, several years after helping the Elephants win the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015.
The appointment marks a new stage in Barry’s transition into coaching and staff management, with the former goalkeeper now taking on responsibilities within the senior national team.
