After a mere 182 days with CR Belouizdad, Adlène Guedioura has bid farewell to the Algerian club following a tumultuous period marked by limited playing time and a notable on-field altercation.
Guedioura’s time with CR Belouizdad was marred by frustration as the former international midfielder made just seven appearances, including two in the CAF Champions League, accumulating a mere 275 minutes of playing time.
The climax came during a match against Young Africans in Tanzania, where an altercation between Guedioura and coach Marcos Paqueta unfolded, ultimately leading to the termination of his contract.
The incident, witnessed by thousands of fans, prompted swift action from club management, who deemed Guedioura’s behavior unacceptable and a breach of team integrity.
Fans and officials alike expressed disappointment in Guedioura’s decision to return to France directly after the incident, leaving his team behind.
In the aftermath, CR Belouizdad’s management moved swiftly to negotiate an amicable end to Guedioura’s contract, acknowledging the irreconcilable differences between the player and the club.
Guedioura’s departure follows a series of discussions between club officials, including Mehdi Rabehi, chairman of the board of directors, and Amara Charaf-Eddine, chairman of Madar Holding, which oversees CR Belouizdad. Coach Marcos Paqueta also played a pivotal role in recommending Guedioura’s departure following the incident in Tanzania.
Despite efforts to address the situation internally, Guedioura did not participate in face-to-face discussions with Paqueta to provide his perspective on the events that transpired.
The decision to part ways with the midfielder reflects CR Belouizdad’s commitment to maintaining discipline and upholding team values.
While the chapter with CR Belouizdad has come to a close, the incident has undoubtedly left a mark on the club’s reputation.
As both parties go their separate ways, the focus now shifts to restoring stability and unity within the team as they continue their campaign in domestic and continental competitions.
