Belgium Colonised two African nations- DR Congo and Rwanda, but Hugo Broos feat has scored them a major point in the African continent when he led Cameroon to win their fifth continental trophy.
He has joined the list of foreign coaches who have won the African Cup of Nations.
The AFCON has now witnessed 15 foreign coaches who have won the competition on 16 occasions. Herve Renard has done it twice, so African coaches are trailing the foreign trainers by a title.
C.K Gyamfi and Hassan Shehata have both won the AFCON three times apiece, however, the Egyptian remains the only person to win it three times on the trot- 2006, 2008 and 2010.
