Adel Amrouche (Arabic: عَادِل عَمرُوش; born 7 March 1968) is an Algerian football manager and former player who most recently managed Rwanda. Having spent a large part of his career in Belgium, where he clinched his UEFA trainer-licence, Amrouche also has Belgian nationality.
Amrouche began his playing in the junior ranks of CA Kouba. He played for a number of Algerian clubs including CR Belouizdad, USM Alger, JS Kabylie, OMR El Annasser, Olympique de Médéa and AS Ain M'lila.[1] He then moved to Austria briefly to play for Favoritner AC.[2] After that, he played for a number of Belgian clubs like La Louviére and Mons, as well as amateur clubs KAV Dendermonde and SK Lombeek.
Managerial career
Amrouche began his managerial career in 1988 by coaching the youth ranks of local club OMR El Annasser while playing for the senior team.[3] He held the same role during his playing stints with USM Alger and RC Kouba.
In 2002, he was appointed as the manager of Congolese club Daring Club Motema Pembe.[4]
In 2007, Amrouche became the coach of the Burundi national team. On 1 January 2011, Amrouche turned down an offer to take over the vacant managerial role of Algerian club ES Sétif, preferring to continue in his role with the Burundi national team.[5] On 29 February 2012, Amrouche resigned as the manager of Burundi, just a day after a 2–1 win against Zimbabwe in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[6]
In February 2013, Amrouche was named coach of the Kenya national team taking over the position from James Nandwa who was there on temporary basis after the departure of Henri Michel. He stayed 18months with Kenya national team.
He managed USM Alger in 2016.[7]
He became manager of the Libya national team in May 2018.[8] He resigned from the position in October 2018.[9]
In August 2019 he became manager of Botswana.[11]
In March 2023 he became the head coach of Tanzania and lead them to the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
In January 2024, Amrouche was suspended by the Tanzania Football Federation, after he was given an eight-match ban and fined $10,000 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This ban was given for suggesting that Morocco has influence in CAF to manipulate the match scheduling and officiating.[12]
In March 2025, he became the head coach of Rwanda [13]
