The Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF) has
advertised the national team coaching job as they look for a replacement for
Herve Renard, an official source revealed on Thursday.
The
FIF will give candidates until June 15 to put their names forward before a
committee appoints a 5-man shortlist to the federation's executive committee to
decide on whom the chosen coach will be.
In
the meantime, Ibrahim Kamara will take interim charge of the team until the end
of June.
Frenchman
Renard left the Elephants to take charge of Ligue 1 club Lille last month, with
the FIF allowing him to end his contract early.
Renard,
46, had signed a renewable two-year deal last August and led the Ivory Coast to
glory at the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea in February, their
first continental title since 1992.
Renard
also won the Cup of Nations as coach of Zambia in 2012.
The
Ivory Coast is due to begin their campaign to qualify for the 2017 Cup of
Nations against Sierra Leone in early September.
They
were drawn in qualifying Group I alongside their west African neighbours and
Sudan.
