Algeria’s national football team and coach Vladimir Petkovic have mutually agreed to part ways following the team’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup qualifying rounds. The decision comes after widespread public anger erupted following a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in the round of 16 on July 3rd. The Algerian Football Federation reached an amicable agreement with the Swiss coach, ending his tenure with the national team prematurely. Petkovic will not be leading the "Greens" this summer. Details of the agreement were not immediately disclosed. This change aims to address the disappointment of fans and potentially steer the team in a new direction. The news was first reported by TSA.
