“Given the pressure exerted on the federation and the national team, I prefer to stop my contract. For the good of all, I prefer to leave even if I do it with a sore heart while wishing all the success in the world to the national team,” he said in a statement on the Algerian Football Federation website.
Algeria failed to win a Group A game, finishing with a 2-2 draw against Senegal on Monday to earn their second point in three matches.
It was the second spell in charge of the team for the 67-year-old, who has also coached the national sides of Belgium and Tunisia.
