New coach of Cote d'ivoire, Herve Renard, has drawn out his vision for the team.
Herve Renard hopes to build a new Ivorian team
The Frenchman, who was appointed on 31 July, plans to build a new team.
Renard said: "My mission is to build a new team, all the while knowing that not everything should be thrown away.
"There won't be a revolution because the next challenge is in September, but we will bring a new dynamism."
Herve Renard has hinted that there may be injection of new faces as he hopes to transform the squad that failed to qualify from their group at the World Cup in Brazil.
"Even though Ivory Coast has foreign-based players I think it would be a shame to ignore the domestic game," said the former Zambia coach.
"To succeed in my mission I'll need to work very hard, to impose discipline, get the most out of the individual talents, bring a sense of collective spirit to everyone.
"I'll build my team from a defensive base. You need a solid defence to win trophies."
The 45-year-old coach, who replaced compatriot Sabri Lamouchi, signed a renewable two-year contract and will take charge of his first match against Sierra Leone on September 6 in Abidjan in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
