Maâloul announces resignation from CR Belouizdad after draw against USM Alger

Tunisian coach Nabil Maaloul has announced his resignation from coaching CR Belouizdad after the team drew 2-2 against USM Alger in a match that took place as part of the Algerian league.

Maaloul's decision came as a surprise during the press conference that followed the match, after he answered questions from journalists before thanking them, his accompanying staff, and the club management, indicating his inability to continue his role without providing further clarifications.

The Tunisian coach's stance has raised questions about the reasons behind his decision, and whether it is related to his anger over referee Mustafa Ghorbal's dismissal of player Mohamed Ali Ben Hamouda, who was denied a legitimate penalty by the referee, or if there are other undisclosed reasons.
