Algeria to negotiate with Marcello Lippi and Roger Lemerre is the alternative

Algerian Football Federation provided a formal offer for the Italian coach Marcello Lippi to lead the technical staff of the national team, Italian sports website Tutto Mercato said here on Sunday.

The website asserted that the former Italian coach will meet soon with the FAF head Mohamed Raouraoua in Paris for negotiations and talks about the possibility of coaching the Desert Foxes and replace Abdelhak Benshikha.

Sam source added that Raouraoua would exploit the opportunity of being in Paris in order to meet the former French and Juventus coach Roger Lemerre in case the negotiations with Marcello Lippi will fail.
