He was part of Algeria's squad for three editions of the Africa Cup of Nations: in 1998, where he played every game before Algeria was eliminated during the group phase; in 2000, chosen by coach Nacer Sandjak among the 22 players as Algeria advanced to the quarter-finals, although Zeghdoud did not feature on the field; and in 2002, where he appeared once against Liberia before Algeria exited at the group stage. His last appearance for the national team occurred on 3 July 2004 during the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in a match versus Nigeria, which ended in a 1–0 defeat.

Managerial career
On 3 March 2020, Mounir Zeghdoud committed to a one-year contract with USM Alger after the departure of Billel Dziri. Although the club initially intended to recruit a renowned coach for the upcoming season, Zeghdoud managed to achieve commendable outcomes before the league was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Algeria. When a new head coach was appointed for the following season, USM Alger proposed Zeghdoud take on an assistant coach position; however, he declined this offer, emphasizing that his contract extended until the season's conclusion and he was unwilling to accept a subordinate role. Subsequently, on 8 March 2021, he resumed his role as head coach after reaching an agreement with club president Achour Djelloul.
