Tunisian football coach Sufian El Hidoussi is considering a potential move to the Algerian league after successful stints with JS Kabylie and Olympique de Médéa. According to recent reports, El Hidoussi has received offers from Wafaq Sétif and JS Kabylie. His current team, Union Ben Guerdane, has had a remarkable start to the season, topping the table with 17 points from five wins and two draws.
El Hidoussi's success with Union Ben Guerdane has been impressive, with the team achieving five consecutive wins, including their latest match. The coach has overcome initial challenges, including a lack of preparation, to lead the team to the top of the league. However, financial constraints have been a recurring issue for the team, with players often being sold to ensure the team's continued participation.
The potential departure of El Hidoussi would be a significant blow to Union Ben Guerdane, who have relied heavily on his expertise. The coach has previously worked in Algeria and is familiar with the league, which has made his transition to the current team relatively smooth. His success has attracted attention from other clubs, including those in Algeria.
In a separate development, Union Ben Guerdane played a friendly match against a team of African players based in Tunisia. The match was an opportunity for the team to maintain their match fitness, particularly given the lengthy break in the league schedule. The team's players, including Saad Al Hammami, are working to maintain their form and cohesion.
Meanwhile, Khaled Ben Sassi is emerging as a strong candidate to coach AS Hammam Sousse. Ben Sassi's appointment comes after the departure of Farid Choushan, who was dismissed following a controversy. The team's management has been in talks with Ben Sassi since the end of the previous week, although other names, including Mohamed Tlamsani, are also being considered.
The potential move of El Hidoussi to Algeria would be a significant development in Tunisian football. His success with Union Ben Guerdane has demonstrated his capabilities as a coach, and his potential departure would create a void in the team. The Algerian league has attracted several top coaches in recent years, and El Hidoussi's move would be seen as a significant coup for the league.
The future of El Hidoussi and Union Ben Guerdane will be closely watched by fans and analysts. The team's success has been built on the back of El Hidoussi's expertise, and his departure would require a significant reshuffle of the team's management and playing staff. The Algerian clubs, Wafaq Sétif and JS Kabylie, are reportedly keen to secure his services.
