The Malagasy Football Federation has announced the renewal of Corentin Martins' contract as head coach of the national team.

The agreement between Corentin Martins and the Malagasy Football Federation was signed today. The contract is for one year with an option to extend.

The statement read: "Corentin Martins will continue to lead the Malagasy national team, aiming to build on the results achieved so far and further strengthen Barea's competitiveness on the African stage."

The French coach's contract had expired in January 2026, and negotiations have been ongoing since then. The process took considerable time due to financial reasons, according to journalist Romain Molina.
