Christian Gourcuff, who has been anticipated to become the future coach of the Algerian national football team since the end of March, has confirmed ongoing discussions with the Algerian Federation. Recent developments suggest that progress is being made between the two parties. According to reports from Le Buteur, the current coach of Lorient is expected to sign a three-year contract with the Algerian national team before the end of April.
If these reports hold true, Gourcuff would succeed Vahid Halilhodzic, whose contract with the Algerian team is set to conclude after the World Cup. Halilhodzic has expressed his intention not to extend his tenure with the Fennecs.
This news indicates that Gourcuff’s appointment as the new coach of the Algerian national team is imminent, marking a transition in leadership for the team after the World Cup.
