Olympique de Béja have announced the departure of head coach Skander Kasri after just six weeks in charge of the Tunisian top-flight side.
The club’s board confirmed the decision following a difficult run of results that left the team rooted at the bottom of the league table.
Kasri’s exit marks another chapter in a turbulent period for the club, which continues to search for stability in its campaign.
Kasri took charge of Olympique de Béja with optimism and ambition, but the team struggled to translate effort into results. Despite moments of promise, the side managed only five points during his brief tenure.
Those points came from a series of tight matches that failed to yield the consistency the management had hoped for.
The decision to part ways came after internal discussions within the board of directors. The club’s leadership felt a change was necessary to revive the team’s performance and lift them from the bottom of the standings.
The announcement ends a short and challenging spell for Kasri, who joined the club aiming to bring tactical balance and renewed energy to the squad.
Olympique de Béja’s poor start to the season has frustrated both the management and the supporters. The club’s five-point tally has placed them in last position, sparking concerns about their ability to compete effectively in the coming fixtures.
Players have shown commitment, but results have not matched the club’s expectations.
Kasri’s departure comes as the board seeks a new direction and a stronger approach to improve performances. The next coach will face the immediate challenge of boosting morale and securing crucial wins to steer the team away from relegation danger.
Kasri, known for his disciplined coaching style and attention to detail, joined Béja with a reputation for organizing compact teams capable of playing attractive football.
However, the results failed to reflect his philosophy during his brief stay. The team’s defensive lapses and missed scoring opportunities cost them vital points, leaving the club’s management with little choice but to initiate change.
Supporters have expressed disappointment over the current state of the team but remain hopeful that new leadership can spark a turnaround.
The focus now shifts to finding a replacement who can bring immediate impact and restore confidence among players and fans alike.
Olympique de Béja’s board thanked Kasri for his professionalism and commitment during his time at the club and wished him success in his future endeavors.
As the search for a new head coach begins, the club faces the urgent task of rebuilding its momentum. With the season still ongoing, the upcoming weeks will prove crucial in determining whether Olympique de Béja can recover from their slow start and climb out of the bottom of the table.
