    The struggle of African coaches

    Ever since South Africa was awarded the 2010 World Cup, the organisers' oft-repeated desire has been for a pan-African World Cup.

    On the coaching front, they are going to be disappointed because Algerian Rabah Saadane will stick out like a sore thumb in June as the only African coach among the continent's six finalists.

    It would have been two but Nigeria's Shaibu Amodu was forced out after the Nations Cup earlier this year. We can also safely predict that the Ivory Coast's new coach won't be African, with Mark Hughes, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Bernd Schuster apparently the three main contenders.

    A look at Africa's World Cup history, not to mention tradition, should have prepared us for such a reality.

    Good article.

    The reality and facts are as written...

    Karl Brown was well on his way--leading Jamaica to the World Cup a few years ago. His success would have set the precedent for caribbean, African and other less developed football countries. That local coaching talent is not (and has never been far away).

    Boxhill scuttle the Reggae BoyZ ship, by employing Bora.

    That ended that.
    The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough
