[7] On 8 November 2016 Koudri renewed his contract for three years until 2020 after his previous contract had expired in June 2017, despite the problems that the player has suffered recently, in light of the brilliance of the young duo Raouf Benguit and Mohammed Benkhemassa.

USM Alger is my second family. I came as a young man and I am now 34 years old, it is a life i spent here and i only live in the house and Bologhine. Except for football i have known men here who have influenced me as a player or on my personal life, and when i grow up, i will teach my children to love USM Alger. For my best memory is the Algerian Cup against MC Alger, as for the worst was the Champions League Final.
