Carlos Queiroz Declines Offer to Coach Algerian National Team: What’s Next for the Fennecs?

Although he was announced as the favorite, the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz will not take charge of the Algerian national team.

The Algerian national team is currently without a coach. After parting ways with Djamel Belmadi, the federation set out in search of a big name. The very experienced Carlos Queiroz was approached for this responsibility. Discussions between the two parties were initiated, but they did not result in an agreement.

Queiroz declined the Algerian offer

GOAL is able to confirm that the Lusitanian technician declined the offer made to him by Walid Sadi, the boss of the FAF. “He greatly appreciates Algeria’s football proposal, the passion of the supporters, the talent, but unfortunately this is the decision,” we learned this Wednesday.

The Algerian federation is aware of Queiroz’s response. And she has already turned to other avenues. The information according to which it was she who rejected the Portuguese coach because of his financial demands would be false.

Now, other names are being put forward in the media to take charge of the Fennecs. Another Portuguese appears on pole, in the person of José Peseiro. Sadi really likes the current Nigeria coach, according to information from DZ Foot. The possibility of Swiss Vladimir Petkovic is not ruled out either.

Algeria must act quickly because important deadlines are coming soon. An international tournament is scheduled for March and the World Cup qualifiers are scheduled for June.

Queiroz, for his part, remains free from any commitment. He has been waiting for a new challenge since the end of his short experience in Qatar. His priority remains a challenge at the head of a selection in order to be able to participate in a new World Cup.
