Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi wants African countries to trust in their local coaches after Algeria and Senegal reached the final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The Teranga Lions saw off the challenge from Tunisia in extra-time, thanks to Dylan Bronn’s own goal while the Desert Foxes battled to a 2-1 victory over Nigeria with Riyad Mahrez scoring the decisive goal.
Both countries are led by their former players who are in their early 40s, with Belmadi in charge of the Desert Foxes while Aliou Cisse, who captained the Teranga Lions to the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations final, manages Senegal.
