Background

edit

After great pressure from supporters demanding a radical change within the club’s administrative organization.[6] At the management level, the advisor to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Réda Abdouch, submitted his resignation, justifying his decision by “personal and health reasons”, indicated the club.[7] Previously USM Alger announced the appointment of Sid Ali Yahiaoui as new general secretary. This is a homecoming for Yahiaoui, who had already held this position in the past with the club in 2021.[7] On June 22, 2024, The Board of Directors of USMA/SSPA met at the headquarters of the Groupe SERPORT, where it was decided to appoint Athmane Sehbane, Chairman of the Board of Directors of USM Alger, to succeed Kamel Hassena who resigned from his position.[1] Still in the same vein, SERPORT has chosen the former Rouge et Noir player, Hamza Koudri as sports coordinator while the former captain of L'USMA, Billel Dziri will occupy the position of sports director.[1] The next day, Othmane Sohbane appointed Mustapha Laroussi as secretary of the first team. Laroussi previously held this position in USM Alger.[8] Arriving in the baggage of the new president of the club, Dziri has already thrown in the towel as sports director of USMA.[9]

After the departure of Juan Carlos Garrido, USM Alger studied several avenues to find the successor of the Spanish technician.[2][3] In an official press release on July 13, USM Alger announced the signing of Tunisian coach Nabil Maâloul a contract of two seasons, Maâloul who has extensive experience in Africa will now have his first experience in Algeria.[2][3] Following urgent requests from certain clubs, the Algerian Football Federation has decided to increase the number of foreign players in the Ligue 1.[10] After having formally passed through the technical college chaired by Rabah Saâdane, the FAF ratified the increase in the number of foreigners per club from 3 to 5. However, that there is a provision intended to serve as a safeguard for the license of a foreign player or coach to be validated, the club must pay the federation a deposit equivalent to 12 months salary.[10] This is to protect against any financial dispute.[10]

Pre-season

edit

After more than 40 days of rest, on July 26, USM Alger players return to training to begin their off-season preparation. The Tunisian technician have about a month and a half to properly prepare his team with a view to returning to official competition from September.[11] The resumption session is scheduled at the annex of Nelson Mandela Stadium, as revealed by Maâloul this stadium will be the team's new training camp this season.

Although he was also called up by CS Constantine, Mondeko has signed a two-season contract with the Rouge et Noir, while Likonza has signed for a period of three seasons. The Egyptian Zamalek SC and the Club Africain of Tunis tried to offer the services of the vice-captain of TP Mazembe, but the USMA was quicker in materializing with Likonza, while he was expected in Tunis to finalize his contract with the most popular club in Tunisia.[22][23]

On July 24, Al Sadd announced its official contract with Abdessamed Bounacer for a period of five years.[24] Although he renewed his contract for two seasons, rumors of Bounacer’s departure have increased since the beginning of the transfer market.
