Is Haiti international football's real impossible job?

When Graham Taylor was England manager, his role was referred to by a documentary crew as an "impossible job". Sebastien Migne smiles wryly when he is asked whether he has the position that really deserves that title.

Migne is the new manager of Haiti, with the brief of guiding them to a first men's World Cup for half a century.

It is a challenge made much harder by the political and social chaos gripping the Caribbean island, which means Migne is unlikely to be able to set foot there for the foreseeable future.

Gangs now control most of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and prevented prime minister Ariel Henry from returning to the country following a foreign trip, leading to his resignation. BBC News report that parts of the country have effectively become lawless.
