The head coach of the DR Congo Leopards, Sébastien Desabre, made a notable appearance on Thursday, November 5, 2026, in the stands of the Tata Raphaël Stadium. The French coach traveled to observe the match on the 4th day of Ligue 1 between AC Rangers and New Jak FC, a competitive game that ended in a goalless draw (0-0).

The presence of the Congolese technical staff leader on local pitches is significant. It comes just before the official announcement of the list of players selected for the international break this November.

This supervision step is part of the final adjustments ahead of the Leopards' upcoming fixtures. It is worth noting that the Democratic Republic of Congo is set to face Sierra Leone in two crucial matches scheduled for November 12 and 17, 2026.
