Algeria: The FAF wants to extend Petkovic's contract

Algeria makes a crucial decision regarding its head coach, Vladimir Petkovic

Arriving with a clear mandate, the Greens' head coach has largely fulfilled his main objectives. Securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup, along with a run to the quarter-finals of the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, has brought Algeria the much-anticipated sporting stability, despite their elimination at the hands of Nigeria.

This record, deemed in line with the initial goals, has convinced the Algerian Football Federation to continue the project. According to several consistent sources, a contract extension until 2028 has been agreed internally, a testament to the ongoing confidence in the current project.

At this stage, no official announcement has been made. But behind the scenes, continuity around Vladimir Petkovic appears to be the preferred path, with a view to consolidating recent gains and calmly preparing for the next major challenges.
