Lechantre accepts Mali job (06.03.2005)
Frenchman Pierre Lechantre has agreed a short-term deal to be the new coach of Mali.
The 54-year old signed an eight-month contract with the Mali Football Federation in Bamako on Saturday.
He replaces national Mamadou Keita who goes back to his old job as technical director.
Keita had took charge of the Eagles when another Frenchman Alain Moizan was sacked after a disastrous three-month spell.
Lechantre has been tasked with reviving the Mali`s fortunes as the West Africans have picked up just two points at the halfway stage of World Cup qualifying.
"The king of sports is ill and the people are suffering," Mali sports minister Moussa Balla Diakite said at the signing ceremony.
Lechantre, who will earn $26,500 a month under the contract, set out his plans for the team.
He said : "The main aim is to qualify for the African Nations Cup, to rebuild a competitive team that will give their maximum for the five matches to come."
"I will meet Mali players in Europe this week before I name my first squad."
``We are not in a good position for the 2006 World Cup and Nations Cup qualifiers but if we win the next five games then we will be qualify for the Nations Cup."
Mali are due to resume their 2006 Nations Cup campaign with a Group One tie at home to Togo on 27 March.
Lechantre has coached in Africa before, leading Cameroon`s Indomitable Lions to victory in the 2000 Cup of Nations.
