Algeria manager Djamel Belmadi has been named the best coach in the group stage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Manchester City player led the Desert Foxes to victory in their opening three games in the competition, without conceding a single goal, for the first time since 1990 when they won the title.
The North Africans started their campaign in the biennial tournament on a perfect note with a 2-0 victory over Kenya, thanks to Baghdad Bounedjah and Riyad Mahrez’ efforts.
The Desert Foxes went on to defeat Senegal 1-0, the highest African ranked team on the Fifa Ranking system, with Youcef Belaili scoring the solitary goal.
