  • Belmadi, Le Choix Par Défaut De Zetchi
    Sport / Sports Les deux hommes se sont rencontrés hier à Paris Belmadi, le choix par défaut de Zetchi Nos sources nous affirment que les pourparlers se déroulent dans de bonnes conditions et tout porte à croire que l’ancien meneur de l’Olympique de Marseille sera le remplaçant de Rabah Madjer à la tête des Verts. Le président de la Fédération algérienne de football (FAF), Kheïreddine Zetchi, a eu une rencontre très importante hier avec l’ancien capitaine de l’équipe nationale, Djamel Belmadi. Le motif : Belmadi serait le futur sélectionneur national. Nos sources nous affirment que les pourparlers se déroulent dans de bonnes conditions et tout porte à croire que l’ancien meneur de l’Olympique de Marseille sera le remplaçant de Rabah Madjer à la tête des Verts. Le président de la FAF, Zetchi, a ainsi, pris tout le monde à contre-pied alors qu’il annonçait à tout bout de champ qu’il compte engager un mondialiste. Finalement, il n’y a ni Vahid Halilhodzic, ni l’actuel coach du Maroc, Hervé Renard, ni le Néerlandais Bert Van Marwijk, ni le Franco-allemand Gernot Rohr, ni le Portugais Carlos Queiroz encore moins le Français Paul Le Guen. Zetchi s’est porté finalement sur un choix par défaut, lui qui ne pouvait ramener un mondialiste, comme il avait promis depuis le départ de Madjer. Il faut savoir qu’il y a eu un échange assez sérieux avec le coach de l’Iran Queiroz mais finalement Zetchi a fini par abandonner la piste du Portugais en raison de certaines interférences.
