The Malian Football Federation has unveiled Belgian tactician Tom Saintfiet as the new Head Coach of the men's senior national team on a two-year contract. The 51-year-old would lead the Eagles in their crucial 2025 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign. The Belgian emerged victorious from a shortlist that included high-profile names such as Antonio Conceiçao, Hector Cùper, and Pitso Mosimane. His appointment marked a significant shift from Saintfiet's recent role with the Philippines national team, a position he took up in February just after leaving Gambia. According to the Malian Football Association, the new coach is supposed to reach the semi-finals of AFCON 2025 in Morocco and also secure Mali's qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
