Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.

As announced by 10Sport.com, the Algerian Football Federation had approached Zinédine Zidane. Free from any contract, the 1998 world champion had politely refused to take over from Djamel Belmadi. Ultimately, the position was given to Vladimir Petkovic, former Switzerland coach. A choice validated by former Algerian international Mustapha Maza.

After the elimination of Algeria in the group stage of the last African Cup of Nations, the Federation has decided to end the mandate of Djamel Belmadi. To replace him, the leaders thought of several names, notably that of Zinedine Zidanewhose parents are from Kabylie. But as confirmed by 10Sport.com, the 1998 world champion refused this proposal. Ultimately, the position reverted to Vladimir Petkovic, former coach of the Suisse and known in France for having trained the Girondins de Bordeaux.

Former Algerian international attacks Zidane

Former Algerian international, Mustapha Maza defended this choice during an interview with Dzair Tube. « If the Algerian Football Federation had appointed Zinedine Zidane as coach of the national team, would anyone have called him unemployed? Even after a break of more than three years without training. There are coaches, like Zinedine Zidane, who, despite numerous offers and interests from major international clubs, remain cautious in their choices ” did he declare.

“Petkovic has clear ambitions”

According to Maza, the choice Petkovic is the right one. He pushed the Fennecs supporters to support him, even if the arrival of Zidane would have plunged the country into mad turmoil. “Petkovic has clear ambitions with the national team, and it is crucial to support him and stay united behind him for the good of Algeria. Football is full of ups and downs, and that’s the nature of the sport.” he confided.
