Africa Nigeria : Keshi ranked 27th wordwide!

Nigeria head coach Stephen Keshi has moved one step on world coaches ranking for the national teams for the month of April.

 

Keshi is rated the 27th best national coach in the world and the fifth best in Africa despite his triumphant run at the last Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

 

Keshi, who has coached in Togo and Mali, finally made an impact with the Super Eagles when he won the Nations Cup, became the second African to win the trophy as captain and a coach after Egypt’s Mahmoud El Gohary, but all that failed to give Keshi a quantum leap on the world rankings.

While Joachim Löw of Germany, Bert van Marwijk of Holland, Óscar Tabárez of Uruguay, US-born Egyptian coach, Bob Bradley, Reinaldo Rueda of Ecuador, Fabio Capello of Russia, Morten Olsen Denmark, Claudio Cesare Prandelli of Italy and Venezuela’s César Alejandro Farías Acosta make the world top ten coaches.

 

Keshi will come face to face with the Del Bosque and Taberez at the Confederation’s Cup June in Brazil.

 

At the continental level, Bradley tops the top ten ranking with Michel Dussuyer (19th) of Guinea, Zambia coach Herve Renard (24th), Egypt legend Hassan Shehata (26th), Stephen Keshi (27th), François Zahoui (45th), Sami Trabelsi (52nd), Alain Giresse (53rd), Kinnah Phiri (63rd), Claude Le Roy (65th) and Rabah Saâdane (66th) making up the numbers.

Jupp Heynckes of Bayern Munich, Barca’s Tito Vilanova, Diego Simone of Athletico Madrid, Vanderlei Luxemburgo of Grêmio, Man United’s Alex Ferguson, Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund, Adenor Leonardo Bacchi “Tite” of Corinthians, Kim Ho-Gon of Ulsan Hyundai make up the top ten.
