Algerian football is witnessing a renewed determination from Carlos Garrido, the Spanish coach of the esteemed Rouge et Noir, following a disheartening defeat against Paradise AC. The magnitude of the loss and the anticipated reaction from the Omar Hamadi Stadium faithful seem to have ignited a fervor in Garrido, prompting him to make ambitious promises to the fans.
In response to the potential discontent among the club’s supporters, Garrido pledged to steer clear of humiliating defeats and set his sights on securing prestigious titles.
In a recent address, he declared, “We want to win the CAF Cup and the Throne Cup,” inadvertently revealing a slip of the tongue as he momentarily believed himself to be the coach of WA Casablanca.
The gaffe, delivered in a slightly garbled French, went unnoticed by the supporters and members of the coaching staff, as well as the players present. Garrido’s inadvertent reference to a Moroccan club where he formerly served indicated the weight of his ambitions, potentially fueled by the desire to appease the fans after a disappointing performance.
The CAF Cup, which stands for the Confederation of African Football Cup, represents a significant challenge for the Rouge et Noir, requiring a formidable performance to secure the coveted title.
On the domestic front, the Throne Cup is another coveted prize that adds to Garrido’s list of aspirations.
As the team navigates the remainder of the season, Garrido’s commitment to redeeming the club’s standing and pursuing silverware will be closely watched.
Algerian football enthusiasts are eager to witness whether the coach can translate his ambitious words into tangible success on the pitch.
The journey towards both the CAF Cup and the Throne Cup promises to be a compelling narrative for fans and critics alike.
