Coaching career

In 1992, Ould Ali began coaching US Chaouia under-20s. Following a spell at Chaouia, Ould Ali moved to France to coach at Marseille-based club US Rouet. At Rouet, Ould Ali met former France international François Bracci. After leaving Rouet, Ould Ali followed Bracci to Algeria, becoming assistant manager under Bracci at CS Constantine and MC Alger.

He led Palestine in the country's second Asian Cup appearance, where Palestine was eliminated without scoring a goal and only two points obtained. Then, he led the Palestinians to the 2022 World Cup qualification, where the Palestinians managed to create a shock home win over Uzbekistan 2–0, leaving enthusiasm among Palestinians. Yet, after the historic win, the team suffered two denting defeats to Singapore and Yemen, before letting the Uzbeks take vengeance on away ground. Due to the performance of Palestine in the qualification, Ould Ali suffered criticism from Palestinian football platform.[5]
