While his departure was announced, Djamel Belmadi continues to cling to his position as Algeria coach.
No, Djamel Belmadi did not announce his resignation following the elimination of Algeria on 1er tour of CAN 2023. The 2019 African champion coach does not want to leave, unless he is pushed to do so. The idea is to receive as much compensation as possible given that he is still under contract for two years with his federation. A golden contract since he receives €200,000 per month, which makes him the highest paid coach on the African continent.
Belmadi demands compensation
The Algerian delegation returns to its country this Wednesday evening. Belmadi hopes to host a press conference in Algiers as soon as he has the opportunity. But this is not to announce its withdrawal. Only to take stock and plan for the future. An initiative that would not be viewed favorably in high places. Since he does not intend to give up his apron, he is instead invited to go directly to his residence in Qatar.
In 2020, Belmadi declared that his big goal is to win the World Cup. A mission in which he continues to believe strongly. The Fennecs having started their qualifying journey for this competition well, he is hopeful of being able to compete at least in the final phase. And he believes he has the right to do so.
However, it is not certain that he will be offered this possibility. The first coach to fail twice in a row in the first round of the CAN, Belmadi has definitively lost all credit with public opinion. And maybe even among his players.
