Here is the official statement from the Philippine Football Federation as released Thursday morning.
Tom Sainfiet will be leaving his role as Head Coach of the Philippine Men’s National Team with immediate effect.
“From my first meeting with Tom this is something we had discussed that if a bigger opportunity came to him that I wouldn’t stand in his way. Tom came into the Philippine job with every intention of helping with our project, but his heart has always been in Africa. We thank him for his service and wish him well in his new role,” said Director of Senior National Teams Freddy Gonzalez.
The former head coach of The Gambia, Saintfiet returns to Africa to lead Mali.
“With the Merdeka Cup around the corner, and preparations for the Mitsubishi Electric Cup ramping up, we need to move on quickly from this. We are already looking at candidates to take on the Head Coach role. I’m confident in finding a man that will be committed to our vision,” said Gonzalez.
This follows the official announcement from the Malian Football Association of the hiring.
