I hope Radhi does well, I've just tried to find an African manager anywhere in Europe and failed. A like to anyone who can.
 
Quick google only returns Daniel Amokachi managing in Finland

I thought that but according to their website he's moved upstairs...and they got relegated to the 3rd division. So maybe the top African coach in Europe is Radhi.
 
Technically it's probably Zidane, but I guess it's where does the line start.

A large chunk of the top coaches in history have started early because of a career ending injury or just not being terribly great players. Are Africans getting the opportunities if they don't have a playing career behind them?
 
Interestingly, I just saw a young lad walking down the road in Chilcompton wearing a black top with the words "Southampton Football Club Academy" on the back.
