Changing The Narrative Around African Managers - a podcast by Zayn Nabbi

from 2023-04-11T23:00

:: ::

In this episode we discuss the narrative around Black and African managers as we analyse whether the barrier of entry for the likes of Patrick Vieira, Kolo Toure, Paul Ince, Chris Hughton and Pitso Mosimane are unrealistic at the world's top clubs. We also celebrate African excellence in the form of Vincent Kompany who's recently led Burnley to gain promotion to the Premier League and Morocco's man with the Midas touch Walid Regragui. Finally we head to the mailbag and answer your questions around the African Super League, which will be an important space for managers from the continent to excel.

Panel: Zayn Nabbi (host), Francis Nkwain (BOA Awards / African Football Expert) and Courtney Freese (Former PSL Winner)
