African coaches leading across borders

African football coaches are increasingly taking their expertise beyond home turf, shaping national teams across the continent.

South Africa’s Bennie McCarthy now leads Kenya’s squad, bringing charisma and tactical depth.

Senegal’s Aliou Cisse has taken charge in Libya, while Zimbabwe’s Callisto Pasuwa is guiding Malawi.

Morocco’s Ezaki Badou is at the helm in Niger, Mali’s Eric Chelle is coaching Sudan, and Ghana’s Kwesi Appiah is leading Nigeria.

These appointments reflect a growing confidence in African coaching talent and a shift toward regional collaboration in football development.

Each coach carries not just technical skills but cultural understanding and leadership that resonates with players and fans alike.

Their presence across borders signals a new era where African football is shaped by homegrown minds, not just imported strategies.
