Algeria, a local coach to replace Belmadi

In the absence of a solution found with the foreign coaches requested, the Algerian federation is considering calling on a local technician.

The question of the succession of Djamel Belmadi on the bench of Algeria is still unresolved. While the latter’s fate has been sealed since the end of the CAN, we do not know who will replace him on the Fennecs bench.

Several foreign technicians were approached. At the beginning, the name of Vladimir Pekovic was circulated. Then, Carlos Queiroz was cited and an agreement even seemed to be concluded with the Portuguese technician. Finally, the Lusitano coach changed his mind. Now, we are talking about his compatriot José Peseiro, who is based in Nigeria.

Bougherra to the rescue?

It is not at all certain that an agreement will be reached with the latter. And this is why the federation is starting to think about the option of relying on a local coach. With this in mind, one name stands out to the detriment of the others. It’s Madjid Bougherra’s. The information comes from the media “El Marma”.

Aged 41, Bougherra is currently in charge of Qatari side Al Makhriya. Before that, he was in charge of the local Algerian team. A rather successful experience since he led the Greens to conquer the Arab Cup in 2021. His appointment would therefore make sense, even if we can wonder about the way in which he intends to manage the executives of this team. Executives who were once his teammates.
