Vipers will participate in the group phase of the premier African football competition for the first time from February while Mazembe are relegated to the second-tier CAF Confederation Cup. A Mazembe official told 'AFP' that Dumas had been "dismissed" after the five-time African champions failed to reach the lucrative mini-league stage for the second straight season. After a playing career as a defender in France and England, Dumas coached in his homeland, Morocco, Equatorial Guinea and Algeria before joining Mazembe last year.
