Najib Ammari is making a bold and heartfelt appeal: he wants to wear the green jersey of Algeria’s national team.
In an interview with La Provence, the Levski Sofia midfielder—who came through the ranks at Olympique de Marseille—expressed his ambition to join the Fennecs, clearly hoping to get the attention of national team coach Christian Gourcuff.
“The national team is always a goal for me. Christian Gourcuff likes young players, so I say to myself: why not… I hope to confirm, get playing time, continue progressing, and most importantly, enjoy myself.”
Key Points:
-
Ammari is 22 years old (at the time) and eager to prove himself on the international stage.
-
His move to Levski Sofia marks a new chapter, where regular playing time could boost his visibility.
-
He’s aware of Gourcuff’s reputation for integrating youth and sees it as an opportunity.
Will Gourcuff respond?
With Gourcuff aiming to rebuild and inject energy into Algeria’s squad, Ammari’s message is well-timed. But he’ll need more than ambition—strong club performances will be essential if he hopes to earn his first call-up.
The ball is now in Ammari’s court—on and off the pitch.
