Portuguese Coach Surprises Algeria with Negotiations
Secret negotiations are underway with a Portuguese coach whose name has not been revealed, with a new coach expected to be announced soon.
After the departure of Swiss coach Vladimir Petkovic, Algeria has been in contact with several technical directors and coaches from different European countries, without reaching an agreement with any of them due to financial and organizational details.
Algerian newspaper Comptition revealed that the president of the Algerian Football Federation, Walid Sad, is in advanced negotiations with a Portuguese coach, whose name has not been revealed yet.
The newspaper confirmed that the technical director in question is not Paulo Bento, the former coach of the Portuguese national team, but one of his compatriots who currently holds a position in one of the clubs, which explains the secrecy surrounding his file.
Algeria's national team is facing a deadline to finalize the appointment of a new coach in the coming weeks, just before the start of the preparatory camp in September and the start of the qualifying matches for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
