Espérance Set to Part Ways with Ndjeng and Akaichi Ahead of New Season
Espérance Sportive de Tunis have decided not to retain strikers Joseph Yannick Ndjeng and Ahmed Akaichi for the upcoming campaign. The decision was confirmed by head coach José Anigo, who has deemed both players surplus to requirements as he looks to reshape his squad.
Ndjeng, the Cameroonian international, has been sidelined by a serious cruciate ligament injury, which has limited his contributions and raised concerns about his long-term fitness. Akaichi, meanwhile, failed to make a consistent impact last season despite being given multiple opportunities to impress in the club’s attack.
The departures reflect Anigo’s intent to rebuild and reinforce his squad with fresh attacking options as Espérance aim to reclaim dominance both domestically and in continental competitions. However, the French manager now faces the challenge of finding suitable replacements to bolster the front line.
With Espérance preparing for a busy season, including CAF and domestic title ambitions, the upcoming transfer window will be critical in shaping the club’s offensive strategy.
