Algeria, favorite country to win the CAN?

Along with Morocco, Senegal and Ivory Coast, Algeria is one of the favorites to win the CAN this year.

Winner of the African Cup of Nations in 1990 and 2019, will Algeria win this competition for a third time, which will take place in Ivory Coast this year and begin on January 13? Vahid Halilhodzic, former coach of the Fennecs between 2011 and 2014, places this team among the favorites.

“The Algerian national team has the potential and ambition to win the African Cup, just like several other teams. Algeria has confirmed for several years that it is one of the best teams on the continent with its great individual and collective abilities. Algeria has a very high level, with young and experienced players. There has always been a lot of talent in Algerian football”told the Bosnian technician to the media Win Win.

“Coach Vahid” is full of praise for the current Algeria coach. “Belmadi did an exceptional job. He won the African Cup of Nations (2019). After every big success, teams face difficulties in maintaining their high levels, and this happens to all teams. However, Belmadi manages the Algerian national team effectively. He knows the mentality and potential of the players well, and the results speak for him”, assures the former PSG coach. During the last CAN, in 2021, the Fennecs did not progress through the group stages.
