Paulo Duarte has questioned the group D draw for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Duarte's Guinea loss 2-1 to South Africa yesterday seem to have triggered these sentiments from the coach.
Their group includes his Guiea team, Eritrea, South Africa and co-hosts Kenya.
“It’s an open group first of all,” said Duarte.
“And I don’t understand how the draw was made when you look at the draw actually with the team of Kenya, Eritrea and South Africa I don’t think it’s fair in terms of the draw.
“But we have more games to play and the away game coming and the game at home as well we will do everything to actually get a result. But I feel the way that the draw was made by CAF is not right, it’s not fair."
