Ali Fergani (Arabic: علي فرقاني) (born September 21, 1952) is an Algerian football manager and former player who played in the midfield position as a playmaker.

Career

Fergani played club football for NA Hussein Dey and JE Tizi-Ouzou. Fergani played for the Algeria national football team at the 1980 Summer Olympics.[1] He also took part in the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain.[2]

In 1981, Fergani came third in a run for an African Footballer of the Year award.[3]

Upon his retirement, Fergani was appointed as an assistant manager of Algeria national football team, as well as the coach of his former club JS Kabylie. His managing career took off to a good start as he won the 1990 African Cup of Nations in his homeland. Fergani was re-appointed as the coach of Algeria national team in 1995, but was dismissed just one year later, after a defeat to Kenya.[4]

After leaving the national team, Fergani coached several Tunisian sides, including Club Athletic Bizertin,[5] Union Sportive Monastir and Stade Tunisien, among others.

Following the resignation of Robert Waseige, Fergani was once again recalled to the Algeria national football team, as a manager.

On October 10, 2011, Fergani was appointed as manager of the Algeria A' national football team.[6]
