Algeria have extended Swiss coach Vladimir Petkovic's contract until 2028, just days before the start of the World Cup.
Petkovic, 62, had been in charge of the Desert Foxes since 2024, taking over following Algeria's first round exit at the African Cup of Nations.
"The Swiss coach has managed some remarkable results since he took over," the Algerian federation said in a statement on Sunday.
Under Petkovic, Algeria have "won 21 matches, had four draws and lost only three matches", the federation added.
Algeria will line up in Group J at the World Cup alongside reigning champions Argentina, Austria and Jordan.
Petkovic was Switzerland coach from 2014 to 2021 and before that won the Italian Cup with Roma in 2013.
