Nicolas Dupuis was named head of the South Sudan national team in October 2023. He is preparing to play in the preliminary qualifying round for CAN 2025 against Sao Tome and Principe.
Between 2016 and 2023, he took the reins of the Madagascar team. His Madagascar team was one of the sensations of CAN 2019 in Egypt, reaching the quarter-finals in their first participation. French coach says he sees the same potential in South Sudan as he did in Madagascar. “I would take a qualification while struggling a bit like in 2019,” he says.
