DR Congo coach Claude Le Roy suggested that he may quit his post following their group-stage exit at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Leopards finished third in Group B with three points after they drew all three their games against Ghana, Mali and Niger.
This was Le Roy's seventh AFCON and his worst-ever finish, having won the tournament with Cameroon in 1998, while he also guided Senegal and Ghana to the semi-finals.
DR Congo needed to win on Monday and although they scored first against the Eagles and looked like progressing to the next round, they could only muster a 1-1 draw.
"It is sad to be out of the competition, especially as we did not lose," Le Roy told Reuters. "It's been a pleasure to work with the players but this is the end of a great adventure. It's frustrating to lose but that's the reality.
"We never really had enough experience in our side. If we did, we would have closed out our previous match against Niger and won that to be in a much stronger position going into our last group game."
He added: "Congo is a massive country with a deep passion for the game. It's a quality national side that will get better in time."
