The most prominent statements of Greens coach Vladimir Petkovic

On Monday, the new coach of the Bosnian Greens, Vladimir Petkovic, held the first press conference in the presence of the Algerian sports media family in the conference hall of the Nelson Mandela Stadium in the capital.

Khalifa Jamal Belmadi touched on several topics related to his new experience, perhaps the most prominent of which is the sports project he seeks to implement and the established goals, in addition to other details, which Al-Akhbariya summarized in the following points:

♦ Football Association President Walid Sadi called me for the first time two weeks ago.

♦ I agreed to coach a team that represents a major country on the African continent. The current group is solid and strong. I am optimistic about achieving good results with them, with the help of my technical staff, of course.

♦ I prefer working under pressure, because this is what distinguishes the world of football at the highest level.

♦ I know Yassin Adly (AC Milan player) personally. We will see if he will join us; Ultimately, for any marriage to be successful, there must be a factor of acceptance from both sides.

♦ The first goal is to gradually improve the team’s level. For me, the next match will be the most important.

♦ We will set the goal of qualifying for the next African Cup as our top priority, after which we will try to reach the furthest possible point, and then reach the 2026 World Cup finals later.

♦ I have some knowledge regarding local football, especially the style of the local Algerian player.

♦ There is no difference between a local player and a professional outside the country. We will work to reconcile them during the process of selecting names. My priority is to evaluate the technical level of each one.

♦ My goal is to develop the team’s performance, and to complete the good work done by my predecessor (Jamal Belmadi).

♦ I have clear ideas. Currently, two of the technical staff will accompany me, and other members will join us in the future, whom I will not announce until the Union completes negotiations with them.

♦ I can communicate with the players in French, which I am fluent in. The technical staff will also include coaches who speak English, in addition to the fact that the Algerian players are fluent in several languages ​​due to their professionalism in various European leagues.

The FAF media officer intervened to answer a question regarding the identity of the local assistant whom the Bosnian coach wanted to include, and stated: The coach will meet with the president of the federation, Walid Sadi, to discuss the issue of his local assistant.

♦ I did not communicate with the former coach of the Greens, Vahid Halilhodzic, about the Algerian national team, but I intend to do so at a later time.

♦ I had the honor of passing by the July 5 Olympic Stadium. I will inspect it closely on an upcoming occasion. The stadium’s stands remind me somewhat of the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

♦ At the present time, I do not exclude any player in the national team from my sports project, but what I would like to point out is that the old list will witness the call-up of new players.
