On this week’s show we talk about whether foreign coaches are better than local coaches for national teams in Africa. This year’s AFCON final was contested between two local coaches, and Egypt and Kenya have both said that they want to go in the direction of local coaches. On the other hand, Liberia have appointed an English coach. So can local coaches take Africa to the highest level? Will they always struggle to get the respect of high-profile players? And are things changing. We hear from Senegal coach Aliou Cisse. Plus a look at the issue of racist abuse being directed at black players on social media.
