DR Congo Head Coach Sets Ambitious Targets for National Team
DR Congo head coach Sébastien Désabre has set ambitious targets for his team, outlining a vision that includes World Cup qualification, Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) glory, and establishing the Leopards among the continent’s elite.
Speaking about the future of Congolese football, Désabre emphasized that the time to build for success is now.
“We want to reach a new level: go to the World Cup, win an AFCON, and be among the five best African nations. And it’s now being built,” he stated.
Under Désabre’s leadership, DR Congo has shown signs of progress, with the team displaying a more structured and disciplined approach in recent international competitions. His commitment to long-term development is evident, as he works on refining the squad’s tactics, mentality, and overall cohesion.
With a blend of experienced players and emerging talents, the Leopards are aiming to compete with Africa’s heavyweights. Having last qualified for the World Cup in 1974 as Zaire, and with their last AFCON triumph dating back to 1974, the nation is eager for a return to the top.
Désabre’s vision signals an exciting new chapter for DR Congo football, and the coming years will be crucial as they strive to turn ambition into reality.
