Hamdani's selection criticized for overlooking top-performing expatriates

Ibrahim Hamdani's latest squad selection has sparked controversy, with critics noting he is following his predecessors' patterns by relying on familiar faces. Players like Azzi and Remache have been included despite low expectations for them to secure a starting spot. The roster has faced backlash for excluding key contributors abroad, such as the consistent Ramiz Zerrouki and the highly productive Saïd Benrahma. Conversely, Hamdani opted for players with limited offensive output or playing time, like Rebbah and Bakkrar. During his press conference, Hamdani's explanations regarding his squad choices, particularly his rotation policy for goalkeepers, failed to satisfy the skeptical football community.
