FIF will make its final decision latest on Thursday.

the technical committee set up to recruit a national coach had shortlisted five candidates out of the 37 who applied for the post, following the resignation of French-Tunisian Sabri Lamouchi, in the wake of the first round ouster of the Ivorian nation team from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The FIF executive committee, in charge of validating the final decision, Friday further reduced the number of shortlisted candidates to three.
