The head coach of South Sudan resigned on Thursday due to questions over his team selection by football association officials.
Ahcene Ait Abdelmalek accuses officials of South Sudan Football Association of interfering with his working by saying this player must play and this player should not.
He says his decision to resign is a good and may bring a positive change, hoping that the team can continue to improve in the future.
The SSFA declined to comment immediately on the matter, saying they will issue an official statement concerning the resignation in the next few days.
South Sudan’s next matches are in mid-October when they travel to play Gabon and then host them a few days later in Nations Cup qualifying.
Bright Stars are bottom of Group C for 2019 qualifying without a single point so far from two games having lost 3-0 to Burundi prior to the loss to Mali.
