Abdelhay Ben Soltane Takes Charge of Newly Promoted AS Djerba Ahead of Ligue 1 Season
Tunisian coach Abdelhay Ben Soltane has left his role as head of the Carthage Aiglons U20 team to take on a new challenge in Tunisia’s top flight. He has signed as manager of AS Djerba, the newly promoted club set to compete in the Tunisian Ligue 1 this season.
Ben Soltane’s appointment comes just days before the league kicks off, with AS Djerba preparing to host Avenir Sportif de la Marsa in their opening match on Sunday, August 10. The club’s primary objective for the campaign will be to secure their place in the top division and avoid immediate relegation.
Meanwhile, the Djerba Sports Association is set to hold its general elective meeting soon, with Tarek Mami widely expected to be elected as the new club president. This leadership change aims to provide stability and support as the team embarks on its Ligue 1 journey.
AS Djerba’s promotion marks a significant milestone for the club, and with Ben Soltane at the helm, they will look to make an impact in Tunisia’s highly competitive top tier.
