Abdelhakim Serrar (born 24 April 1961) is an Algerian former professional football player who won the African Nations Cup in 1990 and is one of only a handful of players that won the Afro-Asian Cup for both club and country. Serrar played as a central defender throughout his career for Entente sportive de Sétif. He is currently the president of ES Sétif, and since his presidency the club has been arguably one of the best teams in the division. [1] [2] He retired from football on 1 July 1991 at the age of 30.
He sacked coach Azzedine Aït Djoudi immediately after the end of the game between ES Sétif and ES Tunis due to the elimination of the club in the second leg of the semi-final of the Arab Champions League played in Rades Stadium. [3]
Zekri was sacked from his managerial position at ES Sétif on 18 August 2010, due to the poor results gained at the 2010 CAF Champions League group stage. The 1–0 loss against Zimbabwe side Dynamos was the final straw for Abdelhakim Serrar. [4]
On 19 August 2010, Abdelhakim Serrar mentioned that former Italian physical trainer Gianni Solinas is likely to become head coach of ES Sétif.
