I was very excited about this opportunity, and I actually began to follow Algerian football and the national team closely, and I also began studying the details of the upcoming interview schedule, but in the end, it was not concluded.” The deal.”

There is nothing wrong with that, and I thank them for thinking about me personally. I conducted good negotiations with officials of the Algerian Football Association, and this offer was one of the few serious proposals that I actually received last summer.”
