AFCON 2013 winning coach, Stephen Keshi, has been overlooked as Burkina Faso named German trainer, Gernot Rohr, as new handler of their national football team.



Rohr replaces Belgian Paul Put, who parted ways with ‘Les Etalons’ after the Orange Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinae 2015, where the Burkinabes, losing finalists at the previous edition, crashed out at the group phase.
A statement by Federation Burkinabe de Football released on Tuesday night said the federation has settled on the 61-year old as the best option.

Prior to that, the FBF had named a three-man shortlist including Rohr, Keshi and Milovan Rajevac of Serbia from 38 applications received for the vacant post.

According to the federation, the German-born trainer will be unveiled to the press in the next few days after the finalization of the terms of engagement between the two parties.

Rohr was previously in charge of Gabon and Niger, guiding the former to the quarters of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations and crashing out at the first round with the latter during the 2013 edition in South Africa.

A defender during his playing days, French sides Bordeaux, Creteil, Nice, Ajaccio, Young Boys of Switzerland and Tunisia’s Etoile du Sahel count amongst his former jobs.
