  • Algeria has appointed former international Brahim Hemdani as its new head coach.
  • The 48-year-old, who played mostly in France and spent five years with Rangers, has limited coaching experience.
  • Hemdani replaces Vladimir Petković, who left the post in August despite having a contract through 2028.

Algeria has found Vladimir Petković’s successor in former international Brahim Hemdani, a 48-year-old coach with limited experience at senior club level.

Born in France, Hemdani spent most of his playing career there and also had a five-year spell with Scottish club Rangers. As a coach, he has led only the amateur side Marignane-Gignac, guiding it to promotion to France’s third tier.

Hemdani also won a gold medal with Algeria’s youth national team at the recently completed Mediterranean Games in Taranto. He will take charge of the senior national team after Petković left the position in August, despite holding a contract that ran until 2028.
