Controversy surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s non-selection for International break
In Gabon, the unexpected absence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from the upcoming international break in April has raised eyebrows and sparked controversy.
The national team’s coach, Thierry Mouyouma, explained the situation, stating, «I called Pierre-Emerick, but I didn’t get a response. I left him a message, but still no reply», expressing regret over the matter.
However, Aubameyang’s camp, represented by a member close to the Marseille player, offers a contrasting account.
According to sources close to the star forward, the new coach failed to show proper respect towards Aubameyang, a former Arsenal player.
«The reality is that they never spoke, and the coach never made contact with him from the beginning. The issue is not related to sports performance. The treatment that Mr. Mouyouma gave to Pierre-Emerick is unworthy. It’s challenging to envision future collaboration between them», asserted Aubameyang’s representatives.
The situation has stirred speculation and debate within the football community, with observers questioning the communication and management style between the coach and key players.
The absence of Aubameyang, a prominent figure in Gabonese football and a player with a significant international presence, adds complexity to the situation.
As discussions unfold, stakeholders are keenly observing how the Gabon national team and Aubameyang’s camp navigate this controversy and whether it impacts future collaborations and team dynamics.
