There is confusion over who is coaching Sierra Leone's national football team.
The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) insist it has never recognised Swede Lars Olof Mattsson as coach.
Mattsson was recently appointed by the Sierra Leone sports ministry, who pay the coach's salary, to lead the team for the remainder of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
But the SLFA insist that Christian Cole is the coach and will be in charge for the rest of the 2012 campaign.
The Swedish coach was originally named to only take charge of the Leone Stars for March's qualifier in Niger.
Despite its stance over Mattsson, SLFA officials were present when he was named as coach for the one-off game and travelled to Niamey for the match.
Subsequently Mattsson was named as coach by the sports ministry for the final three games in 2012 qualifiers but the SLFA now say they do not recognise this decision.
