The Algeria Football Federation have appointed former Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac as their new national coach.<\/p>\n
The 62-year-old is the long-term replacement for Christian Gourcuff who stood down from the position in April.<\/p>\n
Rajevac is best known in Africa for coaching Ghana’s national team, guiding them to within a penalty kick of the 2010 World Cup semi-finals in South Africa.<\/p>\n
The Serbian coach also previously managed Qatar’s national team.<\/p>\n
The Algerian Federation confirmed Rajevac had signed a contract on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Federation also stated he would be in Algeria in mid-July, when he is set to be officially introduced to the world’s press.<\/p>\n
No details of Rajevac’s contract were revealed but he is likely to be in charge of Algeria’s qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.<\/p>\n
Algeria were drawn in a challenging group for the World Cup qualifiers on Friday, featuring alongside Nigeria, Cameroon and Zambia in Group B. The group matches kick off in October.<\/p>\n
Rajevac will also guide Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Gabon next year.
