Petkovic was seen just hours ago in Algiers, where he was transferred to the hotel designated for him to rest before heading tomorrow to the July 5 Olympic Stadium to witness the thrilling football encounter between archrivals CR Belouizdad and MC Alger in the final.
The occasion presents a favorable opportunity for the national team coach to assess the players of CR Belouizdad and MC Alger, with an eye towards inviting the best performers to the upcoming training camp.
Particularly, Petkovic will closely monitor the performance of CR Belouizdad’s defender, Chaib Keddad, who has been previously called up, and MC Alger’s star player, Youssef Belaili, who still holds prospects for a return to the national squad.
Petkovic’s presence underscores the importance of the Algerian Cup final not only as a significant sporting event but also as a scouting ground for potential talents to bolster the national team’s roster.
The national team coach’s keen interest in attending the final highlights his commitment to evaluating the country’s top footballing talents firsthand.
