Gambia have ended their three-year search for a national team coach after 
the appointment of German Antoine Hey on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old replaces local coach Sang Ndong, who was sacked in 2003.

Hey's main task is to qualify Gambia for their first ever African Nations 
Cup finals in 2008.

The Scorpions lead Group Eight of the 2008 African Nations Cup qualifiers 
after beating Cape Verde 2-0 in their opening match earlier this month.

Their next game is away to Algeria on 8 October.

"Currently we are lead our group and the match against Algeria is one of the 
tasks ahead of us if we are to qualify for the first time,'' Hey told BBC 
Sport.

Their other group opponents are Guinea.

Hey played for the Bundesliga sides Schalke and Fortuna Dusseldorf in the 
1990s.

His only coaching experience was with the German lower division side 
Neumunster in the 2003-2004 season.
