JOHANNESBURG
Twenty-five African nations have foreign coaches handling their national football team coaches.
With African champions Nigeria without a national team coach after the Nigeria Football Federation failed to agree with Stephen Keshi over a new contract after the 2013 AFCON-winning coach led the country at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the number could rise depending on who they appoint.
Recently, The South African Football Association appointed home-grown tactician Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba to take over form the sacked Gordon Igesund. Ivory Coast are still mulling over a foreign coach with the 2012 African Cup of Nations-winning tactician Herve Renard leading the race.
Kenya's Harambee Stars are coached by Algerian-born Belgian tactician Adel Amrouche who led them to the 2013 Cecafa title - a first for the country in 11 years, while neighbours Uganda are coached by Serbian Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic.
