Paulo Duarte, future head coach of the Syli National?
Guinea is closing in on a deal with the ex-Togo coach to succeed Michel Dussuyer. Paulo Duarte Paulo Duarte could be set to take the helm of the Syli National in the coming days. The Portuguese tactician reportedly tops the shortlist of candidates and is seen as the frontrunner to succeed Michel Dussuyer as head coach of Guinea's national team. Duarte is edging closer to the Syli National bench. According to several sources, the Guinean Football Federation has made its choice, turning to the former Burkina Faso and Togo manager to replace Michel Dussuyer, whose contract was not renewed. Duarte's name is believed to have been preferred over other shortlisted candidates such as Hubert Velud, Raoul Savoy, Patrice Beaumelle, and Amir Abdou. Negotiations between both parties are already underway. However, salary expectations remain a sticking point. Feguifoot has reportedly set a monthly salary cap of €30,000, which would cover the head coach and his two assistants. This budget framework does not fully satisfy Duarte, who is demanding a salary above that ceiling.

Syli National relocates its showdown with the Fennecs for matchday 8 of the qualifiers. World Cup 2026 (Q): Guinea to host Algeria in Casablanca, Morocco Guinea will take on Algeria on Monday, September 8, 2025, at the Mohammed V Complex in Casablanca as part of matchday 8 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match has been relocated to Morocco due to the unavailability of the Conakry stadium. Guinea is once again forced to play its home matches outside its borders due to ongoing infrastructure issues. The Conakry stadium failed to receive approval from the Confederation of African Football, as it does not meet the standards required for official competitions. As a result, Feguifoot has officially announced that this clash will take place in Morocco, after considering Abidjan and then Tunis as alternatives. The Syli National will host Algeria on September 8 on the pitch of Casablanca's Mohammed V Complex. Before this pivotal match, Guinea will face Somalia on September 5 at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, while Algeria will host Botswana. Currently fifth in Group G with 7 points, Guinea must win these games to keep their qualification hopes alive.
