Liassine Cadamuro-Bentaïba (born 5 March 1988) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca on loan from Real Sociedad, and the Algeria national team. A versatile defender, he can operate as a right back, central defender or left back.[1]

Early life

Cadamuro was born in Toulouse, France, to an Italian father and an Algerian mother, originally from Tipaza Province.[2]

Club career

At the age of 15, Cadamuro joined FC Sochaux-Montbéliard's youth system, going on to represent the reserve team during three seasons. In the 2008 summer, he moved to Spain and signed for Real Sociedad.

With the Basque, Cadamuro played another three years with the B-team, two in the third division and one in the fourth. He was promoted to the main squad for the 2011–12 season, following the arrival of countryman Philippe Montanier as team manager. On 10 September 2011 he made his La Liga debut, replacing Xabier Prieto in the 70th minute of a 2–2 home draw against FC Barcelona.[3]

Cadamuro finished his first season with Real's first team with 19 league appearances (13 starts), helping to a final 12th position. On 2 January 2013 he signed a two-year extension with the club, extending his contract until 2016.[4]

On 8 January 2014, after having been sparingly played during the first half of the campaign, Cadamuro joined Segunda División's RCD Mallorca on loan until June.[5]

International career

On 7 January 2012, Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodžić was in the stands to supervise Cadamuro in a league match against CA Osasuna.[6] The following day, in an interview with French website FootMercato.net, the player stated that his intentions have always been to represent Algeria in international competition, despite also having the option to play for France and Italy.[7]

On 10 February 2012, Real Sociedad's website announced that Cadamuro was officially called up by Halilhodžić for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Gambia.[8] Five days later, the Algerian Football Federation confirmed the information,[9] and he made his debut on the 29th, starting in the 2–1 win.[10]
