Frenchman Michel Dussuyer resigned as Guinea coach on Monday following their quarter-final elimination from the African Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.

Guinea were outclassed 3-0 by Ghana in Sunday's quarter-final and had drawn all three of their group matches.

Unusually for an African coaching position the 55-year-old had been in the job since 2010, and on Sunday had refused to even mull the question of stepping down.

Guinea had made it through to the last eight after a drawing of lots was needed to separate them from Mali, with whom they shared the same points, goals scored and goal difference.
