Description
Qatar 2022 marks the first time in World Cup history that African coaches will lead all five African nations competing. Many are hailing it as a watershed moment after years of African countries relying heavily on foreign, white, and Western coaches while many qualified African candidates were denied opportunities. So, how significant is this for the African teams, fans, and players at the World Cup? And will this lead to more opportunities for African coaches, both on the continent and overseas?
