In a shocking revelation, players from the Algerian national team have spoken out against their former coach Vladimir Bičković. Since his disappointing performance in the last World Cup, Bičković has faced criticism for his technical and tactical shortcomings.
Former player Mehdi Taharat highlighted that Bičković was a disaster both on and off the field. He stated: 'They have confirmed to me that what happened during the matches is the same as what happens during training.'
Taharat added, 'They renewed his contract before the 2026 World Cup finals, and then they fired him afterward, can you understand what's happening?' He continued, 'There are young players who should take on leadership roles, such as Ibrahim Mazaa, and I expect Titraoui to become a regular player soon, especially if he performs well with Lorient.'
Despite Bičković's contract being terminated by mutual agreement with the local football federation, his tenure was marked by disagreements with players over training methods. This revelation came after Bičković’s official departure from the national team, with reports suggesting conflicts between him and the players regarding his coaching style and his selection for the 2023 Best Coach in the World vote.
This statement followed the official termination of Bičković's contract, as reports indicated disagreements between him and the players over training methods and his selection for the 2023 Best Coach in the World poll.
