Mozambique have dismissed coach Mart Nooij after the team failed to reach the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Fezal Sidat, chairman of Mozambique’s football federation, told the Associated Press by telephone from Angola that the Dutch coach’s contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of January.

"There is no point in renewing with Mart Nooij, who could not fulfill his goal of taking the team to the final," Sidat said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Nigeria beat Mozambique 3-0 in their final Group C game. Mozambique earned just one point from their three group games, and it was not enough for the Mambas to progress.

Nooij oversaw Mozambique’s first qualification for the event since 1986, but the southern African team did not show enough in the competition for the Dutch coach to keep his job.
