Algeria coach grabs Said Benrahma's shirt and squares up to West Ham ace in heated scenes
West Ham's star Said Benrahma has clashed with national team boss Djamel Belmadi after he was subbed off - just days after butted heads with international team-mate Islam Slimani
Algerian coach Djamel Belmadi was less than impressed with West Ham star Said Benrahma, collaring the winger when he was subbed off against Egypt.
Benrahma was making his way past his boss, who reached across and grabbed him the shirt. Belmadi then pulled Benrahma towards him and began to square up to his superstar.
"Said Benrahma after that one gave attitude after being snubbed. A coach I Stan," one fan joked. While a second shared: "Sometimes this is needed. They players need to be reminded who the boss is!"

"The coach gave him small lecture to remind him who’s the boss," a third said. And another added: "That's unprofessional!"
It's not been the best week for Benrahma, and he was slammed by fellow international and ex-Leicester City striker Islam Slimani after he attempted to take a penalty against Cape Verde.

Slimani fumed: "The players designated to take the penalties are Slimani and Mahrez. If Mahrez is not on the field, automatically it is up to me to shoot. There is no debate. I ask for respect.
People criticise me just because I was born in Algeria, at 35 I play in Brazil and not in Qatar.”
Algeria beat Cape Verde 5-1, before they drew with Egypt - when the incident between Belmadi and Benrahma occurred.
