*Ineresting news*
German trainer Reinhard Fabisch has resigned as coach of Benin, citing health problems as the reason for his departure.
His resignation leaves the Squirrels in a fix, just weeks before the start of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
The 57-year-old sought a two-week leave from his employers to have a spinal operation for a slipped disc in his home country last month.
But after the operation, Fabisch wrote to the Benin Football Federation (BFF) saying his doctors have prevented him from physical activity until July.
Could he be one of those on FAZ’s short list???
