Appointed head of Niger on September 11, Nabil Neghiz made his debut during the last international break. Asked about his former assistant role in Algeria, he cut it short.

‘I forbid myself from talking about Algeria,’ he declared, refusing any further disclosure. The 44-year-old Algerian coach wants to focus on his new mission.

Neghiz led Niger in two friendly matches. The results have not yet been detailed, but he wants to build a competitive team.
