Mansouri has been roundly booed and jeered by Algerian fans disappointed by his performances of late.

Ziani told Le Buteur: "Honestly, the supporters' reaction has really disappointed me, even more so because Yazid really doesn't deserve this.

"It's disgraceful behaviour and not at all respectful, above all when only a few days separate us from the start of the World Cup.

"I was really affected, I won't hide that from you."

Algeria kick off their World Cup campaign against Slovenia on June 13, before coming up England and then the United States in Group C.
