On July 15, 2019, the Guinean Football Federation made a significant decision regarding the head coach of the senior national team. Paul Put, a former coach of the Kenya national team, had been at the helm of the Guinea team since March 2018.
Put's tenure as head coach was marked by a meeting with the Ministry of Sports and the country's football governing body on Monday, which ultimately led to his dismissal. The exact reasons behind the decision remain unclear, but it is evident that the federation has chosen to go in a different direction.
