The 42-year-old has agreed a contract that will run until the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, according to a statement published by the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).

Algeria, who failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, begin qualifying duties for next year's Africa Cup of Nations against The Gambia in September.
