Audio By Carbonatix

The Gabonese Football Federation have banned defenders Edmond Mouele and Stevy Nzambe and striker Abdou Djamilou Atchabao have for life from international duty “for unworthy and dishonorable behavior, in addition to disrespectfulness” after their horrendous showing at the just ended African Nations Championship.

Gabon finished bottom of their Group A after recording a draw against Morocco and back-to-back defeats to Rwanda and Côte d’Ivoire.

The Gabonese Football Federation have also fired Panthers coach Stéphane Bounguendza and his entire technical staff, following the country’s poor show at the 2016 African Nations Championship.

FEGAFOOT mentioned “insufficient results and unreached objectives” to justify their decision to wield the axe on the staff.

Three other players have been handed a shorter suspension “for unbecoming and disgraceful conduct”, including strikers Dorian Allen Nono and Mario Mandrault and midfielder Vladimir Wils Aworet Ogoula.
