FIFA World Cup 2014: African Coaches have ambition out to Beat Imports at World Cup

FIFA World Cup: African Coaches have ambition out to Beat
Imports at World Cup</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The aim of Ghanaian Kwesi Appiah and Nigerian Stephen Keshi
at the World Cup is to got the second round and end decades of failure by
African coaches.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>"But
whites get a year to adapt, to know the country and the players. That is
unprofessional."</u></i></b><br />
<br />
Appiah is to aim much higher than the second round, telling reporters his
'Black Stars' are powerful enough to lift the trophy and got success .<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>"To become world champions you need strength in depth," said the
reserved 53-year-old former national team full-back.</b></i></u><br />
<br />
"Ghana boasts a strong squad and I believe we can go very far -- even
become world champions.<br />
<br />
"African football is rising and other countries from the continent can also
do very well in Brazil."<br />
<br />
However, a first round Group G including European powerhouses Germany and
Portugal spells trouble, even for talented Ghana.<br />
<br />
Keshi, who skippered Nigeria on their World Cup debut 20 years ago, appears
better placed to create history.<br />
<br />
While<b> Argentina</b> are Group F favourites, Nigeria are capable of taking a place
with them ahead of Bosnia and Iran.<br />
<br />
The outspoken Keshi, 52, refuses to be drawn on the chances of the 'Super
Eagles'.<br />
<br />
"Some Nigerians believe we got an easy draw and qualification is
guaranteed, but I disagree.<br />
<br />
"It would be a terrible mistake to underestimate Bosnia and Iran as they
survived tough qualifying campaigns just like us."<br />
<br />
For Ghana and Nigeria to progress, Appiah and Keshi must succeed where coaching
legends like Algerian Rabah Saadane and Egyptian Mahmoud El-Gohary failed.<br />
<br />
A North African duo -- Algerian Rachid Mekhloufi and Moroccan Mahieddine Khalef
-- came closest to getting past the first round though.<br />
<br />
They masterminded a stunning 1982 triumph over West Germany in Spain and also a
victory against Chile.<br />
<br />
But Algeria finished third on goal difference after qualifiers Germany and
Austria were involved in a shameful final group game.<br />
<br />
A narrow win for Germany would ensure they and Austria advanced and after the
Germans took an early lead, the match became a farce.<br />
<br />
Both teams passed aimlessly while Spanish spectators chanted "fuera,
fuera" (out, out) and furious Algerians waved banknotes at the players.<br />
<br />
Germany won 1-0 and although FIFA rejected Algerian pleas for a replay, they
ordered final group fixtures at subsequent tournaments be played
simultaneously.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the record of African coaches since Algeria were eliminated is
embarrassing with just one victory in 25 World Cup matches.<br />
<br />
That was achieved by Jomo Sono, a South African star deprived by apartheid of
the chance to display his skills at a World Cup.<br />
<br />
The 'Black Prince' coached his country at the 2002 World Cup in South
Korea-Japan and Bafana Bafana (The Boys) overcame Slovenia.<br />
<br />
But Spain and Paraguay advanced, leaving Sono third, just like Mekhloufi and
Khalef, Chetali and Angolan Luis Oliveira Goncalves.<br />
<br />
Chetali was the other coach to savour victory as Tunisia defeated Mexico in
1978 -- the first African triumph at a World Cup.<br />
<br />
Teams coached by Saadane (twice), Tunisians Ali Selmi and Ammar Souayah,
El-Gohary, Moroccan Abdellah Blinda and Nigerian Festus Onigbinde finished
win less and last.<br />
<br />
Now it is the turn of Appiah and Keshi and it would be a great massive disappointment
for Africa if neither breaks the hurdles.</div>
