The Namibia FA boss has fired national football coach Tom Saintfiet after a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Gambia in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Saintfiet told AFP that FA president John Muinjo rang him on Tuesday informing him that he has fallen out with the FA.
"Muinjo said I had failed him and I am on my own, and I am no longer his man,” AFP quoted him.
“He asked me to consider whether I should jump or if I prefer to wait to be pushed. This is not about the result in Gambia because I never had a friendly match or any preparations with the team. It is about the link to Zimbabwe.”
"I do not know where I failed, while my mission is to qualify Namibia for CAN-2012 in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea," he added.
The 37-year-old has been approached to become the coach of the Warriors of Zimbabwe. The coach conceded only three defeats in 13 matches as coach of the Brave Warriors.
