A meeting of the Federal Office of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) is expected to take place on Sunday, during which the future of the national team’s coach, the Spaniard, Lucas Alcaraz, to head the technical bar of the Algerian team will, among other subjects, the President of this body, Kheireddine Zetchi, debated in the province of Oran on Tuesday.
“We will discuss, among other subjects, the Algerian team and its coach. The members of the Federal Bureau will be able to express their views on the future of Alcaraz,” said Zetchi in a press conference, held at the end of its meeting with the presidents of the regional leagues and provinces of the West and South-West.
Since the elimination of the Greens of the 2018 World Cup after their two defeats against Zambia (3-1, 0-1), Alcaraz, who took over the reins of the national team last April, is no longer unanimous within Algerian sports circles.
Press reports also suggested that members of the Federal Bureau are opposed to the maintenance of the Iberian coach, who nevertheless enjoys the confidence of the chief sportsman-king in Algeria.
It must be said that even Zetchi begins to see a bad eye the way of work of the ex-driver of Granada, going so far as to ask him to review his line of conduct both on the technical and disciplinary level, “he said. “One thing is for sure: we will continue our revolution in the national team, with or without Alcaraz,” Zetchi said.
