Fully aware of recent setbacks, the Swiss-Bosnian tactician struck a measured tone, steering clear of grand declarations.
“The main objective at AFCON is to reach the second round, with of course the intention to go as far as possible,” he stated, embracing a step-by-step approach.
It’s a message grounded in reality, as the Fennecs are coming off back-to-back group stage exits in 2021 and 2024. For Petkovic, the priority is clear: rebuild confidence and put Algeria back on a credible, competitive path.
