James Kwesi Appiah: Regragui’s World Cup Success Proves African Coaches Can Excel
Former Black Stars coach James Kwesi Appiah asserts that Walid Regragui’s remarkable success with Morocco during the 2022 World Cup demonstrates the often-overlooked potential of African coaches. Regragui led Morocco to the semifinals, making history as the first African team to reach that stage. Appiah, currently Sudan’s national team coach, highlighted this achievement as proof that African coaches can thrive on the global stage when given the opportunity. He emphasized that the performance of all five African teams, which were led by local coaches in Qatar, showcases the growing belief in the capabilities of African coaches.
