USM Alger: Otto Pfister Dismissed After Poor Second-Half Run

USM Alger Sack Coach Otto Pfister Amid Poor Season Run

It’s the end of the road for Otto Pfister at USM Alger. The German coach, who took charge in February, has been dismissed by club president Rebouh Heddad, as reported by DZfoot. The decision also includes the departure of fitness coach Armand Séné.

Despite qualifying for the CAF Champions League group stage, Pfister’s tenure has been underwhelming in domestic competitions. USMA’s early exit in the Algerian Cup’s Round of 16, coupled with poor league form, has left the club reeling. The recent home draw against MO Béjaïa (MOB) was the final straw, further complicating the club’s chances of avoiding relegation.

📉 A Troubling Record:

  • Only 2 wins in 13 matches in the second half of the season

  • Sitting bottom of the league’s second-half standings

  • Missed multiple opportunities to climb back into the title race

With two games left in the Algerian championship, the club now faces an uphill battle to salvage its season. The sacking of Pfister marks a dramatic turn for a club that started the season with high hopes and continental ambitions.

USMA’s management is now under pressure to appoint a capable replacement quickly, hoping to steer the team clear of a humiliating drop.
