MANAGER STAYS

The Algerian football Association has said that it will be retaining the services of the national team manager Vahid Halilhodzic irrespective of the results that the team achieves at the 2013 African cup of nations.

Algeria have qualified for this tournament after managing three successive victories in the final three qualifying matches. They will be playing in the group stages against the favourites like Côte d’Ivoire. Due to this tough draw for the team at the tournament itself, the results of the team will not be a factor towards judging the future of Vahid Halilhodzic.
