Rising Stars Coach Breaks Silence on What Went Wrong for Rising Stars Against Morocco in AFCON Debut
Rising Stars assistant coach Anthony Akhulia has shed light on what went wrong for the Kenyan U20 national football in their opener fixture against Morocco at the ongoing U20 AFCON in Cairo.
The 43-year-old has attracted plenty of attention since arriving at the club in 2021 due to his tendency to stand in the technical area and give animated instructions during dead-ball situations. Arsenal have become a feared team from set-pieces with Jover helping from the touchline, but his behaviour has not gone down well with everyone.
Back in December, Gary Neville branded Jover 'the most annoying bloke in football' after becoming irritated by the coach's antics. "The set-piece coach gets a lot of plaudits for what he does when they score goals. I don't know his impact on defensive ones but I can only imagine he does the same for them but they are definitely not good enough," Redknapp noted.
Arsenal next travel to the Parc des Princes where they face PSG in the second-leg of their Champions League semi-final clash. The Gunners trail the French champions 1-0 after a lacklustre performance at home in the opening leg of the tie.
