Saadane quits Algeria role

5 September 2010-PA Sport

Rabah Saadane has resigned from his role as coach of Algeria.

Saadane, in his fifth spell as national team coach, led Algeria to the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa, where it finished bottom of its group despite drawing with England.

However, Algeria's qualification campaign for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations began with a 1-1 draw with Tanzania.

A statement on the Algeria football association's official website, www.faf.dz, read: "Mr Rabah Saadane on Saturday resigned from his post as coach of the national team.

"Mr Saadane's decision has been accepted by the president of the Algerian Football Federation (Mohamed Raouraoua), who thanked and paid tribute to his excellent work.

"Mr Rabah Saadane led the national team to the finals of the African Nations Cup and the World Cup in 2010."
