While Algeria seemed on the verge of welcoming Amine Gouiri, the latter has not yet decided anything.
Djamel Belmadi may have to be patient. The Algeria coach, however, thought the matter was closed. The former midfielder confirmed on Sunday the change of nationality of Amine Gouiri.
After having completed his career with the French youth teams, the Rennes striker seemed to have chosen to play with Algeria. But Florian Maurice, the sports director of Stade Rennais, gave a cold shoulder.
“I spoke with Amine about this. For the moment, the decision has not been made,” announced the Breton leader at a press conference.
