ES Sétif
On December 8, 2009, Zekri was announced as the coach of Algerian club ES Sétif.[4]
In his first season, Zekri won the Algerian Cup, the North African Cup of Champions and the North African Super Cup.
However, On August 18, 2010, Zekri was sacked from his managerial position due to the poor results gained in the 2010 CAF Champions League group stage, picking up just one point out of the first three group matches. The 1-0 loss against Zimbabwe side Dynamos was the final straw for ES Sétif president Abdelhakim Serrar.[5]
MC Alger
