    To this day, not a single team has won the #WorldCup with a foreign coach. Is it time for more African nations to put their faith in local coaches?https://bbc.in/2ulJwbE

        For Africa to win the #worldcup they will have to improve their local leagues. The local league is the only tool that can give Africa the #worldcup

        Winning the #WorldCup is not a game of chance. It requires a coach, local or foreign, with a winning mentality. The coach needs first-rate human and material resources to work with, world-class infrastructure, and top-notch local league.

        Let the foreign coaches take us to the semi finals first, then we'll start considering this "philosophy"

        Yes,local coaches need to be giving the chance to showcase their talent in their countries so the white will stay in their countries and leave us alone to manage our own football system #WorldCup
