Nation’s Cup is French affair

There will be a strong French presence amongst the coaches at the African Nations Cup this month for the second consecutive tournament with five of the 16 in Angola hailing from the France. There were also five French handlers at the 2008 edition in Ghana although none survived. Jean-Francois Jodar (Mali), Roger Lemerre (Tunisia), Henri Michel (Morocco), Robert Nouzaret (Guinea) and Claude le Roy (Ghana) were the French representatives at the previous tournament. In Angola it will be the turn of Michel Dussuyer (Benin), Alain Giresse (Gabon), Paul le Guen (Cameroon), Herve Renard (Zambia) and Hubert Velud (Togo) to try and become the fourth French creator of champions. Le Roy guided the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to a 1-0 victory over Nigeria in the 1998 Casablanca final. Lesser known Pierre Lechantre was next to succeed Cameroon in 2000 and once again the runners-up were Nigeria after a Lagos penalty shoot-out. Source: Joy Sports/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
