Ex-Morocco boss Renard apologies for omitting Ajax star Ziyech in African select XI

Former Morocco coach Herve Renard has apologised for leaving out the name of Hakim Ziyech in a select XI of the best African players he has managed.

The 51-year-old Frenchman has coached four African sides to date - Angola, Zambia, the Ivory Coast and Morocco.

He found success leading the Chipolopolo and the Elephants to Africa Cup of Nations success in 2012 and 2015, respectively.

He also led the Atlas Lions to their first World Cup outing in 20 years at the 2018 edition in Russia where they finished last in a group containing Spain, Portugal and Iran.
