Algeria football federation extends head coach search deadline
The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has extended its deadline to appoint a new head coach to September 15, following the departure of Vladimir Petkovic on August 3.
Roberto Martinez, the former manager of Portugal and Belgium, has emerged as a high-profile candidate. Martinez is reportedly enthusiastic about the Algerian project and is willing to make financial concessions to meet the FAF's budget, which includes a monthly salary cap of 160,000 euros. He has also expressed openness to including an Algerian assistant in his technical staff.
Martinez faces competition from Gustavo Poyet, who is considered a strong candidate and is well-regarded within the federation. The FAF is expected to make a final decision in the coming days.
