Algeria want Sven Goran Eriksson as their new manager after a disappointing World Cup. The former Three Lions manager left his role as Ivory Coast coach after his contract expired immediately following their group stage exit at South Africa 2010.

But reports in Algeria suggest Eriksson, 62, has held talks with Desert Foxes federation chief Mohamed Raouraoua in South Africa with a view to replacing Rabah Saadane on a two-year deal.

Algerian national team coach Rabah Saadane has revealed his final roster for the 2010 World Cup. The squad is devoid of surprises considering that injuries have largely made most of the tough decisions for the coach.

The Fennecs suffered their most serious setback last week when the team’s medical staff determined that their influential Lazio playmaker Mourad Meghni would be unable to take part in the tournament considering that he hadn’t fully recovered from a nagging knee injury which will now require surgery.

The Egyptian FA chairman Samir Zaher has said that the federation has no intentions to apologise to Algeria for failing to prevent their team's bus from being stoned ahead of the controversial World Cup qualifier back in November. Algeria made it through but are not fancied by the world cup odds.

Two Algerian players sustained facial injuries after some Egyptian fans hurled projectiles at their bus before a meeting between the North African rivals at Cairo Stadium on November 14 last year.
