AFCON 2017: Algeria coach Georges Leekens quits after elimination

Algeria coach Georges Leekens has resigned following the team's early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Desert Foxes were one of the pre-tournament favourites but crashed out of the finals on Monday after failing to win a game in Gabon.

"For the good of all I decided to quit even though I do it with heart ache," Leekens told the Algerian Football Federation website.

"I wish all the success in the world to the national side."
