Hubert Velud’s success in the Algerian championship is remarkable, winning titles with two different teams in consecutive years. After leading Entente Sétif to the championship last season, he achieved a similar feat with USM Alger this year. His ability to guide teams to success demonstrates his coaching prowess and adaptability in different environments.
Despite his achievements, Velud’s future at USM Alger remains uncertain as he awaits a response from the Togolese Football Federation (FTF) regarding a potential coaching role with the Togo national team. Velud is among the candidates short-listed for the position, alongside other experienced coaches like Didier Six, Tchakala Tchanilé, Tom Saintfiet, and Dosseh Abalo.
While USM Alger may offer Velud a contract extension, his decision will likely hinge on his aspirations and opportunities at the international level. The outcome of negotiations with the FTF will determine Velud’s next career move and whether he will continue his successful tenure in Algerian football or embark on a new challenge with the Togo national team.
