Algeria deny rift between coach and squad • Federation surprised by provocative reports in Algeria• 'No dissension exists between the coach and the players'Algeria, who face England in the World Cup this summer, have denied local media reports that the coach, Rabah Saadane, is about to resign, the north African nation's football federation said in an official statement.The federation said it was surprised by the provocative tone in reports of strained relations between Saadane and his squad at a training camp in France, where they are preparing for this month's Africa Nations Cup finals."There is no foundation to these allegations and we wonder what is the real goal of this disinformation," said the statement on the federation website. "We are anxious to reassure the public that an excellent mood reigns in the squad. No dissension exists between the coach and the players," it added.Saadane steered Algeria to a surprise World Cup finals place with a play-off win over Egypt in November. He was also coach when Algeria last played at the World Cup, in Mexico in 1986.Algeria were drawn with England, Slovenia and the United States at this year's tournament in South Africa.
