Soccer-Mozambique fire coach after Nations Cup loss

MAPUTO, June 16 (Reuters) - Joao Chissano became the latest coaching casualty of the African Nations Cup qualfiers after being dismissed by Mozambique, the country's football federation said on Tuesday. Chissano was fired after a surprise 1-0 home defeat by Rwanda on Sunday at the start of the qualifiers for the 2017 finals.
