Arsenal striker Aubameyang blasts Gabon FA: My father will not be coach!

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has hit out at the Gabon FA.

Aubameyang is angry after his father Pierre was named co-coach following the departure of national team boss Jose Antonio Camacho.

The striker posted to Instagram: "You wonder why I have problems with you and why I do not want to play for the national team? This again shows why. You have let the whole world know that my father is the national coach, even though he has not even promised.

"The president of the union called my father and did not even ask about his health, he is sick now.

"Why have you now hastily scheduled a press conference for Wednesday, while my father said he needs a day's reflection time? His answer is negative, by the way. You have not given him a chance to negotiate, for example, the composition of his staff.

"The day on which the union will not show amateurism is the day Gabon can go on and produce good results."
