Dismissed from his position as coach, Djamel Belmadi does not intend to leave without receiving a fortune from the Algerian federation.
Djamel Belmadi is no longer in charge of the Algeria national team. He was relieved of his duties following the bitter failure at the last CAN. However, the technician born in Chamigny-sur-Marne does not intend to leave with empty pockets. He even wants them particularly full.
According to information disclosed by the Arabic-speaking media WinWin, Belmadi is asking for all of his remaining salaries. Or 36 monthly payments. Which is equivalent to an amount of 7 million and 280,000 euros. A hell of a lot! If he is not satisfied, and within a week, he will take the matter to FIFA.
Belmadi has no use for the “moral contract”
Belmadi’s maneuver is surprising to say the least. Of course, he only asks for his due, but being Algerian and having made it known on numerous occasions that he had a “moral contract” with the people, the former Al-Duhail coach behaves like a true mercenary. Its image in Algeria risks being seriously damaged by this affair.
Until this conflict is definitively resolved, the FAF is not in a position to call on a new coach. However, a commission met last week to define the typical profile of someone who could take charge of the Fennecs. It is rumored that Carlos Queiroz would be the big favorite to land at the head of the double African champions.
