Liberia coach Antoine Hey has revealed he may be
stepping down from his post after just four months.
The Lone Star's hopes of reaching the next round of the
2010 World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers are all
but over after taking two points from four games.
"We will try everything in our remaining matches - The
Gambia away and Algeria at home - but so far we have not
done enough to stay in the competition," the German told BBC
Sport.
"When you have two points from four matches, it's quite
sure that you will not be taking part in the next qualifying
round."
After the group's last tie in October, Liberia will not
play a qualifying match for nearly two years - something
that appears to have dulled Hey's enthusiasm for a job he
only assumed in March.
"I am coaching my third national team now, after Lesotho
and The Gambia, and I would like to go back to club
football," the former Birmingham City midfielder explained.
"We will make our decisions in the next couple of weeks:
of course we either have to work out a road map for the next
weeks, months and years - or someone else should fill in
this position.
"This is something we shall discuss.
"I'm disappointed with the result but not our
performance," he said after Saturday's game.
"Senegal scored from two set-pieces and if that's all
they can do with this experience, I would be disappointed if
I were their coach.
"Last time Liberia lost 6-1 here, this time it was 3-1 so
we've showed we can play football."
However, Liberia lie six points adrift of Group 6 leaders
Senegal with just two games left in September and October.
"I would like to go back to Europe or the Middle East;
I've been in Africa for the last five years, and that's
enough for this moment in time," said Hey.
