Abdelhak Benchikha (born November 22, 1963) is an Algerian football manager who is currently the manager of IR Tanger.
Benchikha was born on November 22, 1963 in the Soustara neighborhood of Algiers. His father died when he was still young, and Benchikha was sent to live with a foster family in Bordj Bou Arreridj because his mother could not afford to support him.
His family is originally from the village of Sidi Abderrahmane in the commune of Timezrit, Boumerdès Province.
Benchikha began his managerial career coach with CR Belouizdad, where he helped win the league title two years in a row, in 2000 and 2001. He then briefly coached MC Alger and the Algerian Under-23 national team before returning to CR Belouizdad in the later part of the 2004-2005 season. Benchikha then moved to Qatar and joined Umm-Salal Sports Club, which was playing in the second division. In his only season with the club, he helped it gain promotion to the top flight. The following season, he joined the Tunisian side ES Zarzis.
On June 13, 2007, Benchikha signed a one-year contract with Tunisian side Club Africain. In his first season with the club, he led them to the league title for the first time in 12 years, beating out Etoile du Sahel by just 2 points in the final standings. Just a few months later, he followed that up with a triumph in the 2008 North African Cup of Champions beating Moroccan club FAR Rabat in the final. In March 2009, the club offered him an extension but Benchikha chose to leave the club.
