Ivory Coast have named a five-man shortlist for the position of national team coach in the wake of Henri Michel's departure.

The Frenchman stepped down after the Elephants failed to progress from the group stage at the World Cup finals and subsequently agreed to join Qatari club Al Arabi.

Included on the shortlist are Michel's former assistant Gerard Gili, who has previously had a spell in charge of Egypt's national side, and the Ivorian Football Federation's technical director Martial Yeo.

Also in the running for the job are ex-Nigeria, South Africa, Japan and Morocco boss Philippe Troussier, former Senegal coach Claude Le Roy and ex-Real Sociedad manager Raynald Denoueix.
