Abdelhak Benchikha ( Arabic عبد الحق بن شيخة, DMG ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq b. Aiḫa ; * November 22, 1963 in Algiers ) is a former Algerian football player and current coach. He is currently training Mouloudia d'Oujda from Morocco .

Career

As a player

Abdelhak Benchikha was born in Algiers , more precisely in the Casbah district . But his family originally comes from Bordj Bou Arreridj , about 200 kilometers from Algiers.

Benchikha played until 1984 in the youth of USM Alger and came from there to the professional team of MC Alger . Annual data on his club stays as an active footballer are unfortunately not available. Benchikha also played for JS Bordj Ménaïel , JS El Biar and even in Tunisia with Espérance Sportive de Zarzis .

As a trainer

He began his coaching career in 1999 at CR Belouizdad as an assistant coach and was able to celebrate the championship with the team in the 1999/00 and 2000/01 seasons. After briefly coaching MC Alger and the Algerian U-23 national team, he returned to Belouizdad at the end of the 2004/05 season. The 2005/06 season Benchikha coached the Umm-Salal SC from Qatar and managed to move up from the second division as champions in the Qatar Stars League . The following season he went to Tunisia , where he took over the coaching position at Espérance Sportive de Zarzis , where he was also active as a game.

On June 13, 2007, he signed a one-year contract with league rivals Club Africain Tunis . In his first season he managed the miracle and won the first championship after a twelve-year break. Before that, the club had narrowly failed to win the championship and Benchikha has been adored by fans since winning. The arch opponent Étoile Sportive du Sahel was left behind with just two points. Just a few months later, he crowned the season by winning the North African Cup of Champions against FAR Rabat from Morocco . The association wanted to extend Benchikha, but he left the association at his own request after the contract expired.

On June 10, 2009 he became the new coach of the Algerian A 'national team (i.e. only Algerians from their own league) and the U-23 national team. With the A 'national team, he made it to the finals of the 2011 African Nations Cup with a 1-0 home win and a 1-2 away defeat in the playoffs against Libya .

On September 13, 2010 he got the senior team of Algeria as the successor to Rabah Saâdane . But already on June 5, 2011, he resigned from his post after a 4-0 defeat against Morocco during qualifying for the 2012 African Cup of Nations .

For the new season he coached MC Alger again, but after only four match days he threw in the towel again and left the club.

Since December 16, 2011 he has been training the traditional Tunisian club Club Africain Tunis again . But on April 22nd, 2012, his contract, which was still running for one year, was terminated by mutual agreement.

From 2013 to 2014 he trained Difaâ d'El Jadida , where he won the Coupe du Trône in 2013 . In June 2014 he signed a contract with the Moroccan runner-up, Raja Casablanca, for a monthly salary of around 20,000 euros (220,000 MAD ), replacing the Tunisian coach Faouzi Benzarti . His contract with Difaâ d'El Jadida was not renewed, and the club was in arrears with salaries and bonuses. Benchikha filed a lawsuit against his old employer with the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football . In 2015 he won the case and was awarded $ 60,000 in compensation. But after only three months, the contract with Raja was terminated by mutual agreement after they were not satisfied with the sporting results of the club. In October 2014 he took over the team from Al-Ittihad Kalba SC from the United Arab Emirates . But with only ten points from 26 games, the team was relegated at the end of the season and Benchikha had to leave the club.

On June 2, 2015 he signed another contract in Morocco with IR Tangier . 60 points and winning the championship were given as the season's goal. The most important games of the season for Tangier at home against Wydad Casablanca and Raja Casablanca could both be won 3-0, away with a 2-2 win. Despite all this, only third place jumped out at the end of the season, which meant qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup . After the following season was not to the satisfaction of the club, Benchikha had to leave the club at the end of the 2016/17 season. In June 2017 he signed with Raja Casablanca again, despite the club's financial problems and tensions between fans and club management. But after only two weeks he quit his post and justified this with the current state in which the club is. It is believed that it was just a return coach for the dismissal in 2014. After brief interludes at Maghreb Tétouan , ES Sétif in Algeria and al-Ittihad Tripoli in Libya, he is currently again a coach in Morocco, this time at Mouloudia d 'Oujda .
