Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi has resigned after his team’s second straight group-stage exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/b><\/p>\n

Algerian Football Federation president Wali Sadi said Wednesday that he has agreed to end Belmadi’s contract following Tuesday’s “bitter elimination” from the tournament.<\/p>\n

“We thank coach Djamel Belmadi for everything he did for the team and wish him good luck in the rest of his career,” Sadi wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Algeria’s 1-0 loss to Mauritania in their final group game left the two-time champion with just two points from three games. A draw would have been enough for the Desert Foxes to reach the last 16.<\/p>\n

Mauritania’s win was the country’s first-ever Africa Cup victory in just its third participation in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Angola finished top of Group D on seven points, followed by Burkina Faso on four, and Mauritania joined them in the knockout stage with three.<\/p>\n

Belmadi reportedly informed the team after the match of his wish to step down.<\/p>\n

Algeria fans reacted with fury to the loss. There were scuffles at the team hotel as fans tried to reach Belmadi and his players.<\/p>\n
