PARIS: Togo have called on Africa Cup of Nations specialist Claude Le Roy in a bid to salvage their struggling 2017 qualification campaign. The 68-year-old Frenchman, who has managed teams at a record eight Cup of Nations, has signed a three year contract. He faces a tough mission to make his ninth tournament as Togo are placed third in their qualifying group on seven points, behind Tunisia and Liberia with two ties to go. “We need a miracle to qualify for the 2017 CAN, perhaps as the best second-placed team,” Le Roy told AFP on Wednesday. Le Roy guided Cameroon to the 1988 African title.
