Algeria have ended Vladimir Petkovic’s time as national team coach, with the Algerian Football Federation saying the split was reached by mutual agreement. The decision was announced on Monday, and the federation said the termination took effect immediately.
The move also covers Petkovic’s coaching staff, according to the federation’s statement. No further explanation was provided in the announcement, leaving the reasons for the separation unclear.
The news marks a sudden change for the Algeria national team, which will now have to move forward under new leadership. With Petkovic and his staff no longer in place, attention is likely to turn quickly to the federation’s next coaching decision.
For now, the key confirmed detail is that Algeria and Vladimir Petkovic have officially gone their separate ways. The federation has acknowledged the immediate end of the arrangement, but has not shared additional information beyond the mutual agreement.
