JS Saoura has parted ways with head coach Tahar Cherif El Ouazzani. El Ouazzani, who was appointed to lead the team in July, has been dismissed from his role just days before the season’s kickoff.
The decision to sever ties with El Ouazzani comes as a shock, particularly given the recent upheavals within the club. JS Saoura had undergone significant changes in both management and technical staff following the departure of previous coach Fouad Bouali. Despite a late start to their pre-season preparations, the team appeared to be adapting well under El Ouazzani’s guidance.
In an official statement released today, JS Saoura explained that the contract termination was based on El Ouazzani’s personal request, citing private impediments as the reason for his departure. The club has not disclosed further details about the circumstances surrounding his exit.
As the team prepares for the start of the new season, JS Saoura has announced that training sessions will resume this evening. However, the club has not yet confirmed who will take charge of the team in the interim. Historically, Mustapha Djallit has been a reliable figure for JS Saoura, often stepping in as interim coach when needed.
This unexpected coaching change leaves JS Saoura in a state of uncertainty as they approach the upcoming season, with fans and analysts keen to see how the team will adjust to the sudden shift in leadership.
