The management of Union of Biskra, led by President Fares Ben Issa, has rejected the resignation request submitted by coach Nadir Lakenawi due to the team's struggling start to the season, particularly after their recent heavy loss to Constantine Sports Club. The management expressed confidence in Lakenawi, choosing to maintain stability within the team as they prepare for crucial matches against MC Oran and JS Kabylie within a week.
Ben Issa met with the players before their recent training session, urging them to react strongly in their upcoming match against MC Oran. He emphasized the need for a different performance and a strong reaction on both individual and collective levels to quickly overcome the aftermath of their heavy defeat to Constantine Sports Club. The team aims to achieve their first win in the league and escape their current phase of uncertainty.
Ben Issa stressed the importance of players taking responsibility and honoring their contracts with the club by continuing to work diligently to return to winning ways and improve the team's standing. He called on the players to forget past setbacks and focus solely on the upcoming challenge. The president also requested the fans to support the team and help improve results in upcoming matches, starting with the encounter against MC Oran.
The training session saw the absence of Comorian international Yacine Sayed due to not rejoining the team after participating with his national team. His return is expected soon after resolving administrative procedures. A group of fans attended the training session, discussing the team's disappointing start with the players. The fans boosted the morale of captain Oussama Derfoul and his teammates, promising to attend the match against MC Oran in large numbers.
The team's upcoming match against MC Oran is scheduled to take place at the Chabi Bouhafs Stadium in Zribah El Oued on Tuesday. Union of Biskra's management and fans are eager for a positive outcome to put an end to the team's series of negative results. The team's current standing is not satisfactory, and a win would be crucial in improving their position in the league.
Coach Nadir Lakenawi's decision to continue leading the team despite the challenging situation demonstrates his commitment to Union of Biskra. The team's performance has been underwhelming, and Lakenawi's continued presence is seen as a positive factor in their quest to regain form. The fans' support will be essential in motivating the players to secure a much-needed victory.
Union of Biskra's struggles this season have raised concerns among fans and management alike.
