Career

Born in Algeria, Bezaz spent his whole career in France, playing as a defender for Sochaux, Rennes, Épinal[2] and Chaumont, where he began his coaching career.

He also played several times for the France national youth football team,[3] and therefore never played for Algeria.

Coaching career

Bezaz coached Chaumont, Charleville, Épinal and Nancy in France.[4] He was named Palestine national football team manager in July 2009.[5][6]
