On 20 October 2014 Taïder re-joined Novi Gorica in a 1-year contract.[7][8]

International career

In 2005, at the age of 21, he attempted to join the Tunisia national football team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup,[9] however FIFA deemed him ineligible as he had played for France U21, as opposed to the Tunisia national football team, before the age of 21.[10] In 2009, he was finally able to debut for Tunisia. On 6 September 2009 he scored his first goal with Tunisia in a 2–2 draw against Nigeria.
