We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

How many games will Wilmot have to impart his ideas into the Algerians before our game?
All we need to do is come correct. Change of managers can go either way. But let's home they will understanding of what he wants them to do

Re: ALGERIA SIGN EX-BELGIUM COACH MARC WILMOTS TODAY
I'm not totally sold on Wilmots as a coach. I was unimpressed with the Belgian team at the last Euros. Expected them to improve from their world cup performance, but they regressed instead. They played well below their potential at the Euros with the talent in the squad. The coaching changes may give Nigeria a slight edge, but Algeria has the talent though to give Nigeria serious problems even with a new coach.

The same Wilmots who squandered Belgium's so called Golden Generation. Far from a Leopold. A serious and sensible Nigeria, bury him quick fast.

Was it not Wilmots that led Belgium from nowhere to number two in the Fifa rankings? Did any team qualify for Euro 2016 more comprehensively than them?
Yes, the wheels eventually fell off but does that negate all the good he did? If he can get Algeria playing like Belgium, we will have an almighty fight on our hands.

Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
BBC
Ivory Coast have named former Belgium international Marc Wilmots as their new head coach to replace Michel Dussuyer.
The 48-year-old Wilmots was coach of Belgium between 2012 and 2016 and lead them to the World Cup in Brazil.
He was sacked in July 2016 after Belgium lost 3-1 to Wales in the quarter-finals of the European Championships.
Frenchman Dussuyer quit the Elephants after they exited the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations at the group stage.
Wilmots, who has signed a two-year contract with an option to renew, will get the chance to see his new charges in action almost immediately as Ivory Coast play two friendlies.
However he will not be in charge of the team for those matches, against Russia on Friday in Krasnador and then Senegal three days later in Franceas, as Ibrahim Kamara will be in temporary control.
The Belgian has been set the task of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the Africa Cup of Nations a year later.
Ivory Coast are top of their World Cup qualifying pool with four points from two matches, ahead of Gabon, Morocco and Mali, with only the group winners going to Russia.
When the Nations Cup campaign kicks off in June, the Elephants will battle it out with Guinea, Central African Republic and Rwanda for a place at the finals in Cameroon.

Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
He is kinda lucky. CIV was not as bad as their 1st round AFCON exit made them look, and they are fortunate to be in the weakest WC qualifying group with Mali's FIFA palaver. If they can beat Morocco at home, they are most likely through. Gabon have Aubameyang and not much else.

Bad move..

Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
Successfully squandered Belgium's golden generation, who better to rust the vestigial remains of Cote d'Ivoire's. Typical African appointment. Winterbottom criteria met. Hired.
Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
Is this not the same guy that grossly underachieved with a very talented group of Belgian players? Come on CIV!!!. You can do better!

Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
Africans never ever learn,it's all about hoping for a quick fix and never working from the root upwards and that's why anybody that is washed up anywhere else gets a chance to screw them over as long as they are foreign, any way good luck to CIV maybe this shot in the dark will hit the target!

Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
I don't rate Wilmots highly either but you never know.
Certain coaches perform well in certain environments.
I wouldn't rule out he can have success before he has even started.

If Wilmots couldn't achieve with the array of talents at his disposal in Belgium, he is not gonna fare better with CIV.

Re: Ivory Coast name Belgian Marc Wilmots as new coach
Another predictable waste of time and money. Tragic too
considering this was the nation Yeo Martial coached to its
first AFCON back in 1992.
A nation that boasted of players like Aka Kouame, Alain
Gouamene(sp), Joel Tiehi, Omar Ben Sallah, Guel Tchiresoa,
Abdoulaye "Ben Badi" Traore, Youssof Fofana and the like
have to look to foreigners to coach them? Sad.
