The decision has been made and should be finalized by this evening at the latest. Patrice Beaumelle is no longer the coach of MC Alger.
The decision to part with his services was in the pipeline the day after the defeat of the reigning Algerian champion against Al Hilal (1-0) in the African Champions League (CAF CL).
It may be the coach with the lowest ratio of lost matches who loses his job. But the facts are there. THE MC Alger finally took the plunge and made the decision to separate “amicably” with Patrice Beaumelle. Having left to stay for a long time, he who was part of the long-term as a logical continuation of a season crowned by a title of champion of Algeria, the former coach of the Ivory Coast had to very quickly face headwinds before completely capsizing on Saturday, during a logical but somewhat unexpected defeat for the most chauvinistic, against Al Hilal (Sudan), during the third day of the pools of the African Champions League.
Beaumelle will receive 2 to 3 monthly payments as compensation
From the final whistle and noting for a while already Beaumelle's inability to rectify a situation that completely escaped him, the board of the Mouloudia called an emergency meeting for the next day that The Gazette du Fennec announced in real time.
We knew from then on that the future of Patrice Beaumelle and its staff was going to be at the center of discussions, but we did not imagine at that time that the decision to part ways would resonate so quickly. According to our information, Hakim Hadj Radjem meant to Beaumelle his end of mission. The two parties have settled the final details of this separation. There would be compensation with severance pay of two to three months, we are told. While the MCA has not said a word on the issue for the moment, undoubtedly waiting for all the agreements to be formalized before announcing it, the name of the new coach is already circulating. It would be, according to reliable sources, the Tunisian Khaled Benyahiaan elder of the house.
