Liberia
have fired their Italian coach Roberto Landi just one week before they
begin their quest to qualify for next year’s Africa Nations Cup finals.
It is believed that the under fire Italian hit the last straw after his
team fell 2-0 to a wholly home-based Nigerian professionals coach
Stephen Keshi took to Monrovia last week.
Landi had been in charge for less than a year but was
dismissed at the weekend, Liberia Football Association president Musa
Bility said in a statement on Tuesday. No reason was given for the sack
but a Reuters source suggested the loss to Nigeria triggered their FA decision.
“No reason was given for the sacking but Liberia won
just twice in eight matches under Landi and their defeat to an
under-strength Nigeria in a friendly last week was the side’s first home
loss in almost six years,” the report stated.
