A video showing Algerian supporters chanting the name of Djamel Belmadi, former coach of the Algerian national team, recently went viral on social media.
The supporters are heard shouting, “Hello Belmadi… Algeria is suffering,” expressing their nostalgia and frustration towards the current situation of the team. However, it has been revealed that this video is not recent, but dates back to 2022, during the Mediterranean Games held in Oran, Algeria.
As a reminder, Djamel Belmadi was dismissed from his position as coach of the Fennecs after a series of notable underperformances, including an early elimination during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations held in Ivory Coast. Under his leadership, the national team had experienced moments of glory, notably winning the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.
This video highlights the strong bond between Belmadi and Algerian supporters, who see him as a symbol of past successes and perhaps hope for his return to turn things around. Despite recent disappointments, Belmadi’s name remains synonymous with hope and pride for many fans. The current situation of the Algerian team calls for reflection on tactical choices and team management to regain the path to victory.
