New Ivory Coast boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is confident the Elephants have what it takes to go far in this year's World Cup.
The former England and Mexico boss was appointed to the Ivory Coast job early this week and believes he has inherited a strong group of players.
"The Ivory Coast has a lot of good players - it couldn't be better," Eriksson said. "It will not be easy but I think the Ivory Coast with all their talents can get through."
And he was eyeing a potential match against England who he guided in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups as well as Euro 2004.
"It would be a great match if we could meet England - and hopefully in the final. Anything is possible," he added.
