Emergency shift.. The Algerian federation ends the dispute over the dismissal of Petkovic

The Algerian Football Federation preferred to keep the first team coach Vladimir Petkovic rather than enter into a long and expensive legal dispute.

The Algerian team was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 32 after losing to Switzerland, sending two unanswered goals.

Petkovic’s tactical choices drew widespread criticism, particularly his insistence on playing without a clear striker against Switzerland.

His comments following his dismissal fueled anger when he said fans could only be satisfied with qualifying for the World Cup and getting past the group stage after a 12-year absence.

The site noted:Miss Mercato“The Algerian federation has completely changed its strategy to restore confidence in Petkovic’s abilities, despite the continuous harsh criticism directed at him.

Despite the Algerian federation’s desire to turn a new page, it quickly faced the heavy financial cost of sacking the Bosnian coach.
