Herve Renard writes off Nigeria chances of winning AFCON 2019
Morocco head coach Herve Renard is confident the Super Eagles of Nigeria will not win the African Nations Cup in 2019.
Since coach Stephen Keshu led team won the title in 2013 in South Africa, Eagles have failed to qualify for the last editions but have qualified for 2019 edition scheduled 21st June until the 19 July in Egypt.
Despite qualifying with a game to spare and boasting of a handful individual players, Renard doesn’t count Super Eagles as one of the title contenders.
Morocco’s head coach Herve Renard who won the title with Zambia and Ivory Coast in 2012 and 2015 respectively is also counting out his team.
“It seems that my realism is not liked by many people,” Renard said, as per KingFut.
“We should look back at the history and recall Egypt hosting the tournament in 2006. It is very hard for Egypt not to win the title.
“The Senegalese national team also includes the best individual talents in the content,” the 50-year-old added.
“We also have a very strong team, but Egypt and Senegal will always be the strongest candidates.”
