After a depressing 1-0 loss to Mauritania at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Algerian football is about to undergo a radical change.
Reports from Algeria suggest that Djamel Belmadi, the veteran coach who led the national squad, is close to resigning. This revelation spread across Algeria like wildfire late last night, clouding Belmadi's more than five years as the Greens' head coach.
The Fennecs' lackluster performance against Mauritania appears to have been the tipping point, propelling the coach towards the exit door.
The defeat not only marred Algeria's campaign in the prestigious tournament but also seems to have dealt a significant blow to Belmadi's resolve to continue leading the team.
Despite the initial triumph of winning the Africa Cup in 2019, the following results have been inconsistent. Early exits from the opening rounds of CAN 2021 and 2023, as well as the inability to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, have sparked criticism.
However, with 41 wins, 17 draws, and 6 losses in 64 matches, the former Olympique de Marseille player's record is still decent collectively.
