Algeria coach Saadane resigns after Tanzania draw


The Algerian Football Federation says coach Rabah Saadane has resigned, a day after the team’s disappointing 1-1 home draw against Tanzania in a 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The federation said Saturday that Saadane had tendered his resignation and that it had been accepted.

Saadane took charge three years ago and steered Algeria to this year’s World Cup in South Africa, ending a 24-year wait. Algeria went out in the group stage after being drawn against England, the United States and Slovenia.

The federation said that Algeria’s under-17 coach Abdelhak Ben Chikha will take charge on a caretaker basis.
