Algeria: After Belhadj, Antar Yahia pushes for another ex-Fennec in Hemdani's staff

Antar Yahia, assistant coach of the Algerian national team, has proposed former international Karim Matmour to strengthen the technical staff ahead of the November double fixture against Togo. Matmour, a former player with 30 caps, has commented on the 2026 World Cup and has been free agent for three years. He may join a squad mainly made up of former internationals to support the national team during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
