A few hours after Zinedine Zidane, another French coach indicated that he was not interested in the position of Algeria coach.
He is the one whose name came out first to take over from Djamel Belmadi at the head of the Algerian selection. Rumors even reported a meeting with the president of the federation (Walid Sadi) which would have been held even before the start of the CAN. However, it turns out that Patrice Beaumelle does not want the Fennecs.
An Algerian club preferred to Algeria
The former Ivory Coast coach is currently in charge of the Algerian club MCA. And it’s good to stay that way. This is what he said this Saturday at a press conference.
“I was saddened by the premature elimination of the Fennecs. I had high hopes. It is a great football nation. For now, I am 200% focused on the task. I really want to finish champion and win a title with this great club. It’s been 14 years since we last won it for almost 14 years. I don’t ask myself those questions.”
Beaumelle was cited to act as interim head of the Greens until next August and the release of Hervé Renard. Obviously, it doesn’t tempt him that much. Or maybe it’s because no contact has been made.
