As the Algerian Football Federation finds itself in the midst of an election period, the climate is becoming increasingly tense around the national team. So much so that some more or less well-informed sources reported on Friday that the manager had resigned. It is not, but Djamel Belmadi has chosen to express his fed up, via a statement issued by the FAF on his behalf.
In it, the African champion coach first looks back on the last Fennecs training camp at the end of March. This “took place in chaotic conditions which did not allow him to be in a position and in a position to carry out his coaching duties. It even seriously disturbed the players, which is unacceptable on a selection scale, “we read.
AN ATMOSPHERE OF POLITICAL RECOVERY
Eager to concentrate on the pitch, Djamel Belmadi deplores the atmosphere of ongoing political recuperation. With the announced departure (and since recorded) of President Kheireddine Zetchi, who had appointed him, the Fennecs coach is entitled to feel more isolated, if not less supported. “All this stagnation experienced and this heavy atmosphere, in connection with the next elections of the Algerian Football Federation, greatly worry the national coach who does not want to be involved in other considerations outside of his prerogatives, his professional framework and of its commitments with the national team ”, indicates faf.dz, before concluding.
“Mr. Belmadi does not want in any way to be the support of anyone, nor to see his name linked or used within the framework of any program or even for populist purposes, considering that he was committed with the first country selection only for specific sporting goals. This situation worries him the most and risks seriously compromising the future of the Greens in the coming deadlines. Sportingly cloudless, the Algerian team’s journey has turned into a rat race behind the scenes, and Belmadi refuses this kind of interference. This press release reminds us of this. Will he be heard?
