He has also played a key role in developing young talents in Austria, contributing to the rise of world-renowned players such as Erling Haaland, Sadio Mané, and Dominik Szoboszlai.

A philosophy built on discipline and performance

In his application, the 48-year-old coach highlights a modern approach:

He emphasizes his belief that Gabon has tremendous potential, capable of shining on both the African and international stage if the team is properly structured. Fully aware of the expectations of FEGAFOOT and the Gabonese people, Mohamed Sahli says he is ready to put his experience to work for the Panthers. This is a dossier to watch closely, especially as the authorities seek to make the right choice to restore hope to supporters after a difficult year for Gabonese football.
