Baciro Cande: Guinea-Bissau will not extend coach's deal after Afcon 2023 exit

Baciro Cande led Guinea-Bissau to qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations finals for the first time in 2017
Long-serving coach Baciro Cande will leave his post as Guinea-Bissau boss when his contract expires next month.
The country's football federation has announced it will not extend the 56-year-old's deal following their group-stage exit at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Djurtus (Wild Dogs) finished bottom of Group A after losing all three of their games.
Cande was appointed by the West Africans in March 2016 and had led the side to qualification for four successive Nations Cup finals.
However, Guinea-Bissau have failed to win in 12 matches at the tournament stretching back to their debut in 2017 in Gabon.
Cande becomes the latest coaching casualty from the 2023 edition of the finals in Ivory Coast.
Egypt boss Rui Vitoria, Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi, Gambia's Tom Saintfiet, Ghana's Chris Hughton, Tunisia's Jalel Kadri and Ivory Coast boss Jean-Louis Gasset have all parted ways with their teams.
