Traore, 63, took his side to ‌second place in their group, but ‌they were easily trounced 3-0 by Ivory Coast in the first knockout round one week ago.

"Following a thorough analysis of ⁠Burkina Faso's participation in the Africa Cup of ‌Nations, it has been decided to terminate ​collaboration with the national coach Brama Traore, as well as his ‍entire technical staff," said a Burkinabe Football Federation statement on Wednesday.

"This decision follows results deemed ‌to fall far short of the objectives set for the national team in this major continental competition. This poor ⁠performance has caused deep disappointment among supporters, stakeholders in national football, and governing bodies.

"As a reminder, the clearly established objective before the start of the 2025 AFCON was to reach at least the semi-finals, in line with the positive momentum and respectable performances achieved by the national team in previous ⁠editions," it continued.

Traore had been in ‌charge for 22 months, and his dismissal follows that of Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi, also fired after his side was eliminated from the ⁠round of 16 in Morocco.
