Algeria football federation reviews coach Vladimir Petkovic's future post‑World Cup

During the Algerian Football Federation's statutory session, officials discussed the national team's elimination in the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup and the future of head coach Vladimir Petkovic. Petkovic had announced his intention to resign after the match against Switzerland, then demanded full salary payments up to 2028 if dismissed.

The federation decided to refer the matter to the National Technical College, chaired by Ali Moucer, so that technical experts can assess the team's performance and advise whether Petkovic should remain. No final decision has been made, but the process suggests the coach is likely to stay unless he chooses to leave voluntarily.
