The Libyan Football Association (LFA) has ended its contract with Montenegrin coach Zoran Filipovic as coach of the Libyan national team.

This was due to the unfavored results against Tunisia and Tanzania in qualifiers for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled for Cameroon.

The Libyan Football Association had earlier signed a one-year contract with Filipovic last December.

LFA officials are seeking to develop a strategy to promote Libyan football and bring it back to the African front.

All this is with the target of qualification for the AFCON for the first time since 2012.

LFA officials are currently considering appointing a new coach to lead the Mediterranean Knights before participating in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers.

This is in addition to facing Sudan in Doha in the preliminary round of the FIFA Arab Cup slated for Qatar in 2021.
