The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on Sunday in Rabat, and as the countdown reaches its final hours, attention is increasingly turning from the stars on the pitch to the coaches charged with shaping the tournament from the technical area.
AFCON 2025 brings together a diverse group of 24 head coaches, ranging from seasoned international veterans to emerging African tacticians. Their backgrounds span continents, footballing cultures, and philosophies, each arriving in Morocco with a clear mission: to compete for results, identity, and legacy on Africa’s biggest stage.
Here are the coaches leading their nations at AFCON 2025:
Algeria - Vladimir Petković Angola - Patrice Beaumelle Benin - Gernot Rohr Botswana - Morena Ramoreboli Burkina Faso - Brama Traore Cameroon - David Pagou Comoros - Stefano Cusin Cote d’Ivoire - Emerse Fae DR Congo - Sébastien Desabre Egypt - Hossam Hassan Equatorial Guinea - Juan Micha Gabon - Thierry Mouyouma Mali - Tom Saintfiet Morocco - Walid Regragui Mozambique - Chiquinho Conde Nigeria - Eric Chelle Senegal - Pape Thiaw South Africa - Hugo Broos Sudan - James Kwesi Appiah Tanzania - Miguel Gamondi Tunisia - Sami Trabelsi Uganda - Paul Put Zambia - Moses Sichone Zimbabwe - Marian Marinica
From World Cup-tested figures to homegrown leaders carrying national pride, AFCON 2025 will be shaped as much by decisions on the touchline as moments on the pitch. In Morocco, these 24 coaches will define the tone, tactics, and stories of Africa’s premier football tournament.
