Angola boss Manuel Jose is looking forward to an African Cup of Nations final with defending champions Egypt. The Portuguese veteran spent most of the last decade with Egyptian champions Ahli, guiding the Cairo club to a host of domestic and continental titles. As Angola prepare to take on Algeria on Monday in a decisive Group A game, Jose is hoping for an 'ideal final' with the holders on January 31st. "I know the Egyptian team well. They are one of the best in Africa," the former Benfica coach was quoted by Angop news agency. "Adding to the fact that I keep great tender for Egyptian people and that Angola are playing at home, practicing a good football, it would make that final game ideal to me." Angola need a draw against World Cup finalists Algeria to make the knockouts, whereas Egypt have already secured top spot in Group C.
