French coach Didier names four best teams in Africa currently

French coach Didier Six has recently named Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, and Nigeria as the four best teams in Africa at present. Six highlighted his admiration for these teams, stating that their level of play is improving, and African football as a whole is advancing. The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been notably impressive, having finished as runners-up in the last Africa Cup of Nations held in Côte d'Ivoire.

They also secured a bronze medal in the subsequent edition of the competition, which took place in Morocco. Victor Osimhen, a Galatasaray striker, was awarded the African Footballer of the Year in 2023, while Ademola Lookman from Atlético Madrid received the prestigious title the following year. When asked about the African teams that impress him the most, Six listed Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, and Nigeria.

The current FIFA rankings seem to support Six's assessment, as these four teams are currently ranked as the top four teams in Africa.
