Fan protests have led to the resignation of the leadership at defending Algerian champions CR Belouizdad including manager Franck Dumas. The 53-year-old former longtime Caen player and manager oversaw nearly two months without a victory for Le Grand Chabab, the lowlight of that period a humiliating 5-1 CAF Champions League defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns. Following a 1-0 defeat to Bikra on Sunday, CRB now sit in 11th place in the Ligue 1 Professionnelle table with hopes of a repeat championship rapidly evaporating.
