Algiers – In a significant move, Amer Mansoul has been relieved of his duties at CS Constantine, the club’s management announced today. The decision follows an emergency board meeting held yesterday in the capital, dedicated to addressing the club’s administrative structure and implementing urgent changes ahead of the winter transfer window.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the meeting primarily focused on the team’s current sporting and administrative standing. Discussions centered around the impact of the existing structure on the current season and the club’s preparations for upcoming competitions.
The outcome of the meeting was the dismissal of Sporting Director Amer Mansoul. This decision was made after a thorough evaluation of his performance and the perceived need for administrative restructuring prior to the transfer period. The resolution to remove Mansoul was reportedly passed with the majority support of the board members.
Emphasis was placed on ensuring the stability of the team and facilitating a smooth transition for Mansoul’s successor during the upcoming transfer window. The timing of Mansoul’s removal, a month before the transfer window opens, is viewed as a strategic maneuver. It allows the board and technical staff ample opportunity to identify and appoint a replacement swiftly. This should also streamline player acquisitions without undue external pressures.
DZWatch anticipates that this change will positively influence the morale of the players and their focus on both the league championship and the cup competition, removing distractions stemming from administrative uncertainty.
The club is expected to announce Mansoul’s replacement in the coming days.
