Pedro Gonçalves, the coach of Angola, has identified Nigeria and Ivory Coast as the top two teams likely to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Gonçalves expressed his thoughts ahead of Angola’s AFCON quarter-final match against Nigeria at the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny in Abidjan on Friday.
“We have a difficult task ahead of us against Nigeria in the African Nations quarter-finals,” Gonçalves said on Al-Hayat channel, via Filgoal.
“Peseiro is a great coach and his results with them are good.”
He added, “Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, and Algeria were initially nominated to win the title, but they all bid farewell to the tournament.
“Now I believe that Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria have the greatest chances of holding the title.”
