Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has hailed the decision to move the Africa Cup Of Nations from January/February to June/July as fantastic news. The change in scheduling for the Nations Cup was one of several changes to the African football calendar announced by CAF following the symposium in Rabat last week.
“Obviously because it’s hard in the middle of the season to lose players like we do, and with so many African players playing in the best competitions in Europe it’s not good for the clubs, it’s not good for the competitions and it’s not good for the players.”
“So if you can do that and you manage to do the Africa Cup in the European break,” Mourinho concluded, “it’s fantastic for us.”
Manchester have Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly in their ranks.
