Senegal Football Federation have sacked coach Joseph Koto after their failure to qualify for the African Nations Cup finals in South Africa.
The decision was taken on Tuesday at a board meeting to discuss the rioting that led to the abandonment of their final round, second leg qualifier against the Ivory Coast this month.
The federation said: 'Koto has been removed because targets were not achieved.'
Koto who has been acting coach since Amara Traore was sacked in February after a disastrous 2012 African Nations Cup finals for Senegal. His appointment was confirmed in July.
The Teranga Lions were trailing 2-0 in Dakar when home supporters caused the abandonment of the match by throwing missiles on to the pitch and lighting small fires in the stands.
The team were on their way out of the 2013 competition after being outplayed, 2-6 down on aggregate when play stopped. They have since been formally disqualified.
