Goodbye Ghana

Henri Kasperczak, the Senegal coach, has resigned after his team's 3-1 defeat by Angola yesterday. The Pole told his players that he was quitting after the defeat in Tamale that leaves the west African side on the verge of an early departure from Ghana.

"He told the players about his decision and also Cheikh Seck, the vice-president of international competitions," a Sengegal official said. "He then packed his bags with the aim of catching the first flight he could get out of Ghana."
