Algérie : Vladimir Petkovic quitte officiellement son poste de sélectionneur
It's now official: Vladimir Petkovic is no longer the coach of the Algerian national team. The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) announced on Monday evening that it had reached an agreement with the Swiss-Bosnian coach to end their collaboration.
The decision comes after several weeks of discussions between the two parties. The elimination of the Fennecs in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, against Switzerland (2-0), is said to have weighed heavily in the federation's decision, which had reservations about the continuation of the partnership with the coach.
Having taken over as head coach of the Algerian national team in February 2024, Petkovic had nevertheless managed to establish himself in the role for the long term. His contract had even been extended until 2028, a few weeks before the start of the World Cup.
But Algeria's run in Canada, Mexico, and the United States ultimately marked the end of his tenure. After more than two years at the helm of the Fennecs, the former Bordeaux coach will now have to find a new position.
The FAF, for its part, will have to quickly look into Petkovic's successor in order to prepare for the national team's upcoming international competitions.
