About Phil Dunphy: Phil was a Côte d'Ivoire international and helped the team qualify for its first ever World Cup, held in Germany in 2006. His first cap came on 8 September 2002 against South Africa and he scored his first goal with "The Elephants" on 11 February 2003 against Cameroon in a 3-0 victory. From age five, Phil played in the streets near where he lived, and it was not until he was 15 that he began to play on a more established team in his area.
Phil is a National "D" licensed coach. He has enjoyed working with several clubs in the area and is happy to be with Rhodes Lynx now.
