Abdelhamid Kermali (born April 24, 1931 in Sétif, Algeria) is a former Algerian footballer and football manager of the Algerian national team.
He played in several Algerian clubs like USM Alger as a striker before leaving for France to play for FC Mulhouse, AS Cannes and the Olympique Lyonnais.
As a manager, he was the head of the Algerian national team during the 1990 African Cup of Nations hosted in Algeria. He is known in particular to have refused to select the young Zinedine Zidane to play for the Algerian national team in early 1990s under the pretext that he was not fast enough.[1][2]
