The Algerian Football Federation is diligently working to identify and appoint the successor to Djamel Belmadi. While Belmadi’s departure negotiations are still underway, a leading candidate has emerged as the potential occupant of the coveted managerial position.
According to reports from Algerian Radio, as cited by La Gazette du Fennec, the identity of Djamel Belmadi’s successor will be officially revealed by Thursday at the latest.
The frontrunner for this prestigious role is none other than Vladimir Petkovic. The 60-year-old coach boasts an extensive career, having previously managed the Swiss national team from 2014 to 2021, showcasing substantial experience in the realm of international football.
Petkovic’s credentials include guiding Switzerland through several international tournaments, contributing to his reputation as a seasoned tactician.
Despite his accomplished tenure with the Swiss team, his most recent coaching stint with Bordeaux may not have left an indelible mark, as suggested by the reports.
As the Algerian Football Federation prepares to announce the new head coach, the decision to potentially appoint Vladimir Petkovic is met with anticipation and speculation.
The coming days will unveil whether Petkovic, with his wealth of experience, will be tasked with rejuvenating the Fennecs and steering them towards future successes on the international stage.
Algerian football enthusiasts are keenly awaiting this significant announcement, hopeful for a fresh chapter under the guidance of the prospective manager.
