Losers

Nigeria

How the mighty have fallen. In February 2013, were at the summit of African football after winning their first Africa Cup of Nations since 1996. But just two years later, the Super Eagles are the laughing stock of Africa. Off-the-pitch problems have interrupted their steady progress, as head coach Stephen Keshi was working without a contract. He was then subsequently fired and re-hired all in a space of two week’s time. Such instability is never conducive to achieving positive results on the pitch and explains Nigera’s inability to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
