The Algerian selection could add the services of a French technician depending on the echoes emanating from the other side of the Mediterranean.
Algeria is still without a coach since parting ways with Djamel Belmadi. All options that were doomed to failure. It started with Zinedine Zidane, and continued with Carlos Queiroz, Jose Peseiro and Vladimir Petkovic.
A former Blues coach at the head of the Greens?
Now, another name is starting to circulate near Dely Ibrahim, the headquarters of the federation. According to the media El Mouhtarif, President Walid Sadi contacted Laurent Blanc for this position. Negotiations are said to be ongoing between the two parties.
Blanc has not coached since his dismissal from Lyon last fall. The Cévénol is in no hurry at all to return to a position. If he joins the Greens, it will be his second experience as coach since he managed the French team between 2010 and 2012.
A wise old man to Algeria’s rescue?
Other Algerian sources indicate that an internal solution is being considered, embodied by Rabah Saadane. At least, temporarily. The Federal Bureau met this Wednesday, but it was to deal with other subjects. There may not be any announcements until next Monday or Tuesday. Time is still urgent because the list for the matches in March must normally be communicated in around ten days.
