French coach Velud, was appointed by the Sudanese FA back in January 2020, guiding the team in 14 games, in which he won only three while losing eight.
Sudan’s new technical staff in the AFCON will be a 100% local-based one, led by veteran head coach Borhan Tia, who will be assisted by Mubark Soliman and Mohsen Sayed.
Tia’s first job will come in the AFCON where the 1970 African champions are drawn in Group D alongside Nigeria, Egypt, and Guinea-Bissau.
