The head coaches of Algeria, Ghana and Tunisia begin their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification journey hoping to fare batter than their predecessors.
Algerias Vladimir Petkovic prepares to take on Equatorial Guinea at the Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran after replacing Djamel Belmadi at the helm in February.
Belmadi was relieved of his duties in January following the Fennec Foxes elimination from the 2023 AFCON at the group stages - his second failure after also crashing out of the 2021 edition at the first hurdle.
The National Thunder also featured at the continental showpiece in Ivory Coast, where they reached the round of 16 before being beaten 1-0 by Guinea.
Otto Addo will be looking to bring new hope to Ghana when they lock horns with Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
