It has been officially announced that Roger Lemerre is no longer with CS Constantine, and the Algerian first division club has appointed Franco-Italian Diego Garzitto as the new coach. Garzitto is a well-known figure in African football coaching, with significant experience on the continent.
Diego Garzitto’s notable achievements include winning the 2009 African Champions League with TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He also secured the cup-championship double with Hilal of Omdurman in Sudan in 2012. Garzitto was unattached to any coaching commitments since his stint in Sudan.
In addition to his success with club teams, Garzitto has managed national teams, including Ethiopia and Togo. The announcement did not provide details about Roger Lemerre’s next destination, but it is mentioned that the African Club of Tunisia seems to be holding its own in this context. The coaching changes reflect the dynamic nature of football management in the region.
