Bucs Star Singles Out Youngest Coach At AFCON

Bucs Star Singles Out Youngest Coach At AFCON

Collin Benjamin has claimed that Namibia are not as fortunate as South Africa when it comes to qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Orlando pirates star Deon Hotto had some special praise for Collin Benjamin, who is the youngest head coach at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Brave Warriors are competing at their fourth Africa Cup of Nations, but will be lead by 45-year-old Benjamin who is also a former player.

Benjamin was previously on the Brave Warriors' coaching staff before he was appointed head in June 2022 at the start of the AFCON qualifying campaign.

Hotto had nothing but praise for the former Hamburg defender heading into the group stage opener against Tunisia on Tuesday.

"He is one of the youngest and brightest coaches in the tournament," Hotto told CAF Online. 

"He played his whole career in Germany at the highest level and so he is sharing that experience with us. He is a very open coach. 

"His door is always open for us. He is just a marvelous coach with new and fresh ideas and someone who is really great to work with."

The Brave Warriors will be aiming to progress to the knockout round for the first time in their history, having failed to do so in their last appearances.
