The 2024–25 season, is USM Alger's 47th season and the club's 30th consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, USM Alger are participating in this season's editions of the Algerian Cup and the Confederation Cup. On June 27, 2024 The federal office approved the calendar for the 2024–25 Ligue 1 season with the aim of ending on May 31, 2025. The first round is scheduled for September 14, this delay is motivated both by an extended end of the 2023–24 season but also by the holding of early presidential elections which will take place on September 7, 2024.[4] [5] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[6]

Review

Background

After great pressure from supporters demanding a radical change within the club’s administrative organization.[7] At the management level, the advisor to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Réda Abdouch, submitted his resignation, justifying his decision by “personal and health reasons”, indicated the club.[8] Previously USM Alger announced the appointment of Sid Ali Yahiaoui as new general secretary. This is a homecoming for Yahiaoui, who had already held this position in the past with the club in 2021. On June 22, 2024, The Board of Directors of USMA/SSPA met at the headquarters of the Groupe SERPORT, where it was decided to appoint Athmane Sehbane, Chairman of the Board of Directors of USM Alger, to succeed Kamel Hassena who resigned from his position. Still in the same vein, SERPORT has chosen the former Rouge et Noir player, Hamza Koudri as sports coordinator while the former captain of L'USMA, Billel Dziri will occupy the position of sports director. The next day, Othmane Sohbane appointed Mustapha Laroussi as secretary of the first team. Laroussi previously held this position in USM Alger.[9] Arriving in the baggage of the new president of the club, Dziri has already thrown in the towel as sports director of USMA.[10]

After the departure of Juan Carlos Garrido, USM Alger studied several avenues to find the successor of the Spanish technician.[1] [2] In an official press release on July 13, USM Alger announced the signing of Tunisian coach Nabil Maâloul a contract of two seasons, Maâloul who has extensive experience in Africa will now have his first experience in Algeria.[1] [2] Following urgent requests from certain clubs, the Algerian Football Federation has decided to increase the number of foreign players in the Ligue 1.[11] After having formally passed through the technical college chaired by Rabah Saâdane, the FAF ratified the increase in the number of foreigners per club from 3 to 5. However, that there is a provision intended to serve as a safeguard for the license of a foreign player or coach to be validated, the club must pay the federation a deposit equivalent to 12 months salary. This is to protect against any financial dispute. On August 5, 2024, USM Alger appointed former player Rabie Meftah as coach of the under-21 team. Meftah expressed his happiness to return to a club dear to him and start his new mission with the young players.[12]

Pre-season

After more than 40 days of rest, on July 26, USM Alger players return to training to begin their off-season preparation. The Tunisian technician have about a month and a half to properly prepare his team with a view to returning to official competition from September.[13] The resumption session is scheduled at the annex of Nelson Mandela Stadium, as revealed by Maâloul this stadium will be the team's new training camp this season. Soustara team will carry out the first cycle of preparation in Baraki for two weeks, where the technical staff will focus on the physical aspect.[14] On August 14, USM Alger set off for Annaba, from where it reach the Tunisian border town of Tabarka. A place chosen by the team's technical staff to hold the second stage of summer preparation, after a successful first training camp in Algiers under the orders of Maâloul. Les Rouge et Noir will play a few friendly matches against Tunisian opponents and those from other countries.[15] [16] USM Alger play five friendly matches as part of its pre-competitive training camp in Tunisia, including four against Algerian teams, who are also there for their pre-season training camps, the Red and Black management announced in a press release.

On August 23, Secretary General Sid Ali Yahiaoui submitted his resignation due to a misunderstanding with the Chairman of the Board of Directors Athmane Sehbane, because of his repeated mistakes in filling out new player contracts. The management transferred the former member of the media cell Badreddine Jaafar to administrative duties along with the director of the general administration Mohamed Briki and the secretary Mustapha Laroussi.[17] On August 31, USMA completed a 16-day training camp in Tabarka, Tunisia, as part of its off-season preparation. This gathering, dedicated to the technical-tactical and organizational aspects, saw the team play 6 friendly matches: 3 against Algerian clubs, 2 against Tunisian clubs and one match against a Libyan club.[18]

First-team transfers (summer transfer window)

Before Kamel Hassena’s administration left, the contracts of Abdessamed Bounacer and Salim Boukhanchouche were renewed for two seasons, and Abdelkrim Namani’s renewed for four seasons.[19] [20] [21] As for Hocine Dehiri whose loan period ended, his contract was bought from Paradou AC, where he signed a contract for three seasons.[22] [23] On June 23, 2024, Zineddine Belaïd met with Athmane Sehbane, where he agreed that he would officially leave. The team’s management finally agreed not to put obstacles in the way of the player’s ambition and in a way that preserves the rights of the club. The agreement was finally concluded to fulfill the desire of Belaïd to join the Belgian club Sint-Truiden and signed his exit paper.[24]

On July 8, 2024, USM Alger has its first summer recruit the defender Ilyes Chetti, after the termination of his contract with the Wydad AC, Where he signed a contract for three seasons for an astronomical total salary exceeding 6 million DA.[25] [26] In the sights of several Algerian clubs in this transfer window, Houssam Ghacha finally joined USM Alger for three seasons, coming from Espérance de Tunis.[27] [28] On July 23, USM Alger announced the recruitment of two Congolese players from TP Mazembe, Kévin Mondeko and Glody Likonza. Although he was also called up by CS Constantine, Mondeko has signed a two-season contract with the Rouge et Noir, while Likonza has signed for a period of three seasons. The Egyptian Zamalek SC and the Club Africain of Tunis tried to offer the services of the vice-captain of TP Mazembe, but the USMA was quicker in materializing with Likonza, while he was expected in Tunis to finalize his contract with the most popular club in Tunisia.[29] [30]

On July 24, Al Sadd announced its official contract with Abdessamed Bounacer for a period of five years.[31] Although he renewed his contract for two seasons, rumors of Bounacer’s departure have increased since the beginning of the transfer market. Where Bounacer moved to Qatar with his agent to negotiate his transfer to Al Sadd. Where Bounacer has a release clause in his contract, which amounts to 500,000 euros.[32] [33] On July 27, USM Alger announced the arrival of the Algerian left winger Ghiles Guenaoui, as the fifth player to join the club during the summer coming from the Al Masry SC. The Egyptian club’s management approved the offer submitted to obtain Guenaoui’ services on a permanent transfer, after paying the agreed financial value.[34] [35] [36] On August 6, USM Alger signed a contract with Nigerian Wale Musa Alli for two seasons coming from Zbrojovka Brno.[37] The Ligue de Football Professionnel has demanded proof from USM Alger that Musa Alli has international status with at least five caps for his country, as provided for in the general regulations of the FAF. In the absence of this validation, the player will not be able to be integrated into the Red and Black squad.[38]

With the departures of Belaïd and Bounacer, USM Alger has recruited new central defender Imadeddine Azzi for a season on loan from Kuwaiti club Kazma.[39] On August 13, the management of USM Alger and Simba of Tanzania agreed on the transfer of Cameroonian Leonel Ateba in a deal worth 250 thousand euros.[40] [41] On August 23, Hispanic-Senegalese Sekou Gassama signed a two-year electronic contract, coming from Anorthosis Famagusta. His arrival comes after the departure of three foreigners, Malians Kanou and Konaté as well as Cameroonian Ateba.[42] [43] On the morning of August 27, USM Alger announced the signing of Bolivian international Adalid Terrazas for three seasons as the fifth foreigner. Terrazas became the first player from South America to join the club since 2009.[44] [45] The Soustara club finally managed to find a solution with some of its players that Nabil Maâloul does not see as being able to continue the adventure with the Red and Black.[46] This is the case of the Malian duo Sékou Konaté and Abdoulaye Kanou that USM Alger has definitively removed from the squad. The first was released by signing an amicable agreement while the second was transferred to the Moroccan club Difaâ El Jadidi. In addition to this duo, Sehbane's management has reached an agreement with striker Oussama Bellatreche. Arriving in winter from JS Saoura, Belatreche signed an amicable separation.

Start of season

On September 12, USM Alger headed to Tunisia to play their first match of the season in the CAF Confederation Cup against Stade Tunisien. Having dominated most of the match, the Usmistes were unable to find the back of the opposing net. The Tunisians surprised the Red and Blacks in the 85th minute with a goal scored by Smaali.[47] [48] In second leg match, USM Alger hosted Stade Tunisien at the Miloud Hadefi Stadium in Oran, USM Alger did not open the score due to the defensive way the opponent played, and waited until the last quarter to open the score, through defender Kévin Mondeko with a superb acrobatic return. The deliverance came following a corner taken by Ghiles Guenaoui at the near post, Stade Tunisien striker Bilel Mejri put the ball in his own net in stoppage time. After this goal, the referee of the match will end the debate, allowing USMA to qualify for the group stage for the third time in a row.[49] [50]

October 8, 2024 The disciplinary jury of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has delivered its verdict in the USM Alger-RS Berkane case. More than five months later, the disciplinary jury has finally delivered its verdict concerning the famous CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals case, it imposed a financial sanction of $40,000 against the Soustara club, for non-compliance with the decisions and regulations of the CAF bodies.[51] On October 31, 2024, USM Alger announced news of its training center under construction, which was relaunched this season. However, after the construction works for the buildings were carried out, the site remained in a state of disrepair again for a little over a year. Cosider is the company responsible for the project, the delivery date of which has not been set.[52] [53] Project director said regular meetings have been held with President Sahebane since he took office. Since July, we have made significant progress, overcoming many obstacles thanks to the efforts of the project’s design office.
