Benin have sacked the entire coaching and playing staff following their first-round exit from the African Cup of Nations.
The bizarre decision comes after the Squirrels finished third in Group C, behind eventual winners Egypt and semi-finalists Nigeria.
French coach Michel Dussuyer led the West African minnows to a draw against Mozambique, who they pipped to third on goal difference.
It was their joint-highest finish at the tournament, having previously qualified in 2004 and 2008 but failing to earn a point.
Their top players include Paris St Germain midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, Metz striker Razak Omotoyossi and Plymouth defender Reda Johnson.
The FA claimed a lack of patriotism and mass indiscipline led to the cull.
