Kheireddine Zetchi, the new president of Algeria's football federation, wants to reposition the national team and develop the local game.

According to Ceoafrica, Zetchi was elected unopposed on Monday after incumbent, Mohamed Raouraoua, refused to stand for a third consecutive term.

Algeria failed to get out of their group at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Gabon.

"There are priorities, namely the appointment of a coach", Zetchi said.

He has set a deadline of two weeks to find a new coach to replace Belgian George Leekens, who resigned in January after AFCON failure.
