Esteban Becker – Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea are, on paper, the least talented team in this edition of the Africa Cup of Nations. The Nzalang Nacional struggled to get past the preliminary stages of AFCON qualifying. When you also factor in that Becker was hired just a week before the tournament kicked off, the Argentinian caretaker must be commended for keeping his men in contention for the quarterfinal ahead of matchday 3.
