In the search for a new coach as Djamel Belmadi's departure is being settled, the Algerian Football Federation has ticked off several names for the succession, including Patrice Beaumelle.
"Yes, I've seen my name circulated. But there's been no approach from either side. Because I'm still at Mouloudia. They have a coach. There are other rumors too. I've seen them put out Queiroz, Renard, Halilhodzic... That's the job of journalists or agents trying to put forward candidates. Today, I'm at MCA. It would be wrong to tell you that I'm not at all interested in this national team. Because I love Algeria, it's a fantastic team with incredible player potential. Is now the right time? Not now, because I'm under contract. One day, I'd love to. But the timing, I can't tell you. It's Allah who decides and the joint will of a federation and a coach. Right now, I'm at 2000% with Mouloudia," he told Goal.
