This time it is Patrick Bedsthe coach of Malawiwho pays the price. Despite his efforts, the 50-year-old coach did not succeed in rectifying the situation of his team, heavily beaten by the Senegal during the last international break. The “Flames” suffered two defeats, one severe 4-0 on the way out and a 1-0 on the way back.
These poor performances not only seal the future of Bedsbut also that of Malawi in the qualifications of the 2025 African Cup of Nations. The team is eliminated and will have to wait for the qualifications for CAN 2027. Malawian Federation decided that it was time to make a new start.
