Vahid Halilhodzic has declared he is "able to win the Champions League" and is "inferior to nobody" in the dug-out as he prepares to lead Algeria into the African Nations Cup.
Halilhodzic, 60, built his reputation in France with Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, and since leaving the Parc des Princes in 2005, has enjoyed success at Dinamo Zagreb and guided Ivory Coast to the 2010 World Cup finals and the Nations Cup of the same year.
He has achieved the same feat with Algeria for the upcoming tournament in South Africa, but while he continues to embellish his international credentials, he feels he still has not been given the opportunity to show his skills fully at club level.
