Yesterday the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced that the Confederation's awards for the best performers of the last season 2023/24 will be given in Morocco on December 16
For the second season in a row, Yanga has entered the category of the best club in Africa along with their countrymen Simba
But also the goalkeeper Djigui Diarra was named in the category of the best goalkeeper in Africa representing Yanga and the Mali national team
Coach Miguel Gamondi who did well with the Yanga team last season is not in the competition for the best coach
In his first season with Yanga, Gamondi led the Citizens to win all the domestic titles (League Premier and FA) and sent Yanga to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 25 years
It should be remembered that before Gamondi's arrival, Yanga had not even played in the group stage in the last 25 years
Even Nasreddine Nabi, who in the 2022/23 season led Yanga to the CAF CC final while winning all the local titles, his name was not in the competition for the best coach in 2023
But you will be surprised this year to see Al Hilal coach Florent Ibenge's name in the list despite the fact that his team did not do wonders last season
This is where you will find out that these awards are sometimes organized for special people and others are just shared to complete the schedule
