Burkina Faso technician Firmin Sanou has been appointed number 1 coach of Association Sportive Real de Bamako, at least until the end of the current season.
The directors of AS Real Bamako have confirmed Firmin Sanou as coach of the Malian club's first team. In a final exchange, agreement was reached for the former assistant coach of Burkina Faso's senior Etalons to take charge of the club.
The idea of both parties to the contract is to accompany Firmin Sanou for the next two months so that he can master and understand the environment of AS Real Bamako and the country (Mali) before deciding to embark on another two years.
With five games remaining in the season, AS Real Bamako are 3rd in the table with 44 points. Firmin Sanou's mission will be to end the season on a positive note.
