Vahid ThThe popularity of Vahid Halilhodzic who had many detractors in the Algerian press and in the Algerian Football Federation reached its zenith at the Brazilian world.
In the tense match which has long opposed some of the sports press, he wins by KO "opinion leaders" of the sports press are forced to deal with a low-profile coach who won the "battle hearts "in the Algerian public opinion.
This gave a viral slogan "Halliloreste" and petitions on the same way: have a coach Vahid remains in Algeria. Vox populi, Vox Dei ... Even President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is riding the wave of Vahidmania and resumes its popular "Halliloreste" account.
Yesterday, receiving the President of the Algerian Football Federation, Mohamed Raouraoua, whose relationship with the coach of the national team are, to put it mildly, "difficult", Algerian President relayed the "popular demand" : Vahid must stay.
In the presence of the Bosnian coach, the Algerian Head of State asked Wednesday night, the president of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF), Mohamed Raouraoua to keep Vahid,as ahead of the Greens.
"Vahid (Halilhodzic) should remain with us. This is a great team we have," said Mr. Bouteflika. Vahid Halilhodzic replied, smiling: "It was not always easy but we must continue this momentum .Thanks to our game, we have become the darlings of the Brazilians.".
This is not a response to the offer to stay requested by the Algerian president. But it's a total victory for coach Vahid who can stay ahead of the Greens, if so decides.
