PLANET SPORT Football Africa
17 January: In this week’s show we look at the unexpected decision to delay the 2024 African Nations Championship, just weeks before it was set to start in East Africa.
And we explore one of the enduring debates in African football - local coaches or foreign coaches for national sides? Emerse Fae, who won the AFCON with Cote d’Ivoire last year, firmly believes local coaches can do better, provided they are exposed to the latest coaching methods.
Plus Stuart focuses on the EPL title race, as Arsenal close the gap on Liverpool.
17 January: This week we talk about the surprise decision to delay the 2024 African Nations Championship to August, just 18 days before it was due to kick off in East Africa.
Also we dig into one of the longest-running debates in African football – whether national teams are better off with local coaches or foreign coaches. While local coaches like Walid Regragui with Morocco and the late Stephen Keshi with Nigeria and Togo did great things, we still have European coaches coming in to the continent and usually receiving better treatment than local coaches. We speak to Emerse Fae, who won the AFCON last year with Cote d’Ivoire.
And we have Stuart on the EPL, as Arsenal narrow the gap on Liverpool.
