Algeria: Gustavo Poyet confirms he was approached by the FAF

The former Chelsea and Uruguay international confirmed on Afrik-Foot that he was contacted by the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) this summer. He was among the candidates to replace Vladimir Petkovic.

"I was among the finalists and enthusiastic," he said. Poyet even began to envision himself in the role, attracted by the project.

Ultimately, the FAF chose Brahim Hemdani. Poyet did not hide his disappointment but remains interested in coaching in Africa in the future.
