Maher Kanzari, the new coach of CA, has completed his first two months with the team, and the results have been a mixed bag. Despite some surprising wins, including a 1-0 victory in the championship and a successful first round in the Ligue des champions, Kanzari's tenure has been marked by inconsistency and concerns about the team's overall performance. His unorthodox approach and frequent changes to the lineup have raised questions among fans and analysts.

Kanzari's arrival was met with skepticism by some fans due to his past controversies and provocative personality. However, his winning record has helped to win over some of the fans, and he has achieved significant results, including a 1-0 win against Djoliba and a 2-2 draw against Bamako. Nevertheless, the team's performance has been marred by a lack of creativity and convincing play, with many of their wins being minimal and hard-fought.

One of the main concerns about Kanzari's tenure has been his inability to establish a consistent lineup and playing style. He has made frequent changes to the team, with some players being used and then dropped, while others have been ignored altogether. This has led to questions about his tactics and ability to get the best out of his players. Despite having a talented squad, the team has struggled to create scoring opportunities and has relied heavily on luck to secure wins.

The team's defensive fragility has also been a concern, with the departure of key players such as Zemzmi, Chrifi, and Ben Abda leaving a significant void. Kanzari has yet to find a solution to this problem, and the team's defense has looked vulnerable at times. While the team's results have been good, there are concerns that this approach may not be sustainable in the long term.

Kanzari's personality and coaching style have been a subject of debate among fans and analysts. While he has a reputation for being a tough and demanding coach, some have questioned whether his approach is suited to the CA team's needs. Despite his success in securing wins, Kanzari needs to address the team's underlying issues and find a way to improve the team's overall performance.

As the team prepares for the next phase of the season, Kanzari will need to make adjustments and find a way to improve the team's creativity and consistency. With a talented squad and a favorable schedule, there is an opportunity for the team to make a significant impact. However, Kanzari will need to demonstrate his ability to adapt and evolve as a coach in order to achieve success.

Ultimately, Kanzari's success will be judged on his ability to deliver results and improve the team's performance over the course of the season. While he has had a good start, there is still much work to be done, and he will need to demonstrate his ability to address the team's weaknesses and find a way to sustain success over the long term.
