In less than three days, more than 100 coaches have applied to take charge of Burkina Faso's national team. This remarkable figure was revealed on February 9 by Lassina Sawadogo. According to the RTB journalist—the country's national broadcaster—applications are pouring in from all over the world, and the Stallions' bench could soon attract more than 200 candidates.

It's worth recalling that the Gabonese Football Federation had previously received exactly 605 applications for a similar role. These numbers highlight the global interest and appeal of African national team coaching jobs.

The application deadline for the position of Stallions head coach is set for February 15.
