But no, don't think there are any you should bother paying attention too. I used to enjoy watching the CAF CL, not so much anymore.

And yes, I found it quite sad when Egypt recently fired Shehata and hired Bradley. One of the things I liked most about them was that they were succeeding with an Egyptian coach.
Thanks. It's a shame as getting a good quality league going is probably the best way to improve the quality of African coaches, long term. If there is nothing to act as a breeding ground of sorts, then I can't see anything but the current trend continuing.
