The deadline set by the President of the Algerian Football Federation, Walid Saadi, for coach Vahid Halilhodzic to respond to the offer to return to lead the national team has elapsed.
However, the coach has not reestablished contact with Saadi, indicating his lack of enthusiasm for resuming work in Algeria.
This marks the third coach to slip away, following Zidane and Renard, creating a dilemma for the FA president, who insists on appointing a new coach at the earliest opportunity.
This move allows him to shift focus to other pressing matters, notably bolstering the national team with new dual-nationality players, with Crystal Palace’s talented Baptiste Aholou leading the pack.
