Entente de Sétif, the Algerian football club, has announced the departure of two players from its squad, Abdou Salam Jiddou and Moriba Diarra, as the current season draws to a close.
Both Abdou Salam Jiddou and Moriba Diarra, originally from Mali, will not see out their contracts with Entente de Sétif, despite being initially signed until 2025.
The decision to release the two players was confirmed by the club’s management, signaling a strategic shift towards bolstering the team with fresh talent.
According to reports from Algerian media outlet Derbypresse, the club’s decision to part ways with these foreign players is aimed at restructuring the squad and bringing in new high-caliber recruits to enhance performance in the upcoming seasons.
Moriba Diarra, a 28-year-old central defender, faced criticism for his performance this season, having only appeared in six matches.
Meanwhile, Abdou Salam Jiddou, who played as a midfielder, made 19 appearances in the Ligue 1, contributing with one assist. Both players joined Entente de Sétif last summer on free transfers.
The departure of Jiddou and Diarra marks a transitional phase for Entente de Sétif as they seek to revitalize their squad and reinforce their competitive edge in domestic and possibly continental competitions.
Their exit provides an opportunity for the club to explore new avenues for recruitment and strategic planning ahead of the next campaign.
As the club bids farewell to these two players, attention now turns to the future as Entente de Sétif aims to build a formidable team capable of achieving success in the Algerian football landscape.
