Former Brazil and Germany coaches Carlos Dunga and Jurgen Klinsmann are among the five candidates shortlisted to take over as coach of Algeria.According to Supersport, a source close to the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) claimed yesterday that the two are among those sieved from a list of 43 applicants."Jurgen Klinsmann and Carlos Dunga are on the list of five coaches chosen by the FAF's candidature committee to succeed Abdelhak Benchikha at the head of the Algerian national side," said the source to the APS news agency.The source said that further talks with the five candidates would be "initiated shortly".The news agency also said that besides Dunga and Klinsmann, Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic is also one of the hot favourites to take over the Algeria job. Halilhodzic, a former coach of the Ivory Coast national team, is scheduled to meet Raouraoua in Paris on Friday.The FAF launched a search for a new national coach on June 8, after Benchikha stepped down in the aftermath of the 4-0 defeat by regional rivals Morocco in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Marrakech. Algeria, eliminated in the group phase at last year's World Cup in South Africa, are currently bottom of qualifying Group D after four matches.
