No Candidates for Club Presidency as Provisional Committee Term Ends
The press — The elective general assembly, which was scheduled for July, has not resolved the issue of the presidency. In fact, due to the lack of candidates at that time, the assembly was postponed until the end of September in the hope of receiving an application at the club's secretariat. However, once again, no candidate has come forward.
The president of the provisional committee, Samir Yaâcoub, whose mission is currently expiring, has made it known since last season that he will not run for a new term. This appears to be a well-thought-out decision and does not come as a surprise to anyone.
If he extended his term for a provisional period, it was mainly to clean up the club's financial situation, he has repeatedly emphasized. Paying off the club's debts was his priority! Now, if he insists on leaving the club, he must certainly have his reasons.
One of the reasons was revealed during an intervention on a radio show, in which he pointed out his detractors, without naming them, who were threatening his family after the famous match against CA in Bizerte. However, since things did not go as planned, the plan failed, according to the man himself.
This is far from being a peaceful situation... Does this very serious information seem plausible to observers? We will never know the truth if there is no investigation into the matter! It is true that Samir Yaâcoub's tenure as head of the northern club has not been smooth sailing. Managing a professional club today has become extremely difficult due to the demands of supporters. The consequence of this toxic atmosphere in stadiums no longer encourages potential candidates to take on such a responsibility.
These days, a club president has become a rare commodity, hence the trend of provisional committees. However, the timing is not opportune at all. It would have been better to hold on until the end of the last season to leave, rather than now, in the middle of the journey.
This late and premature decision, depending on one's perspective, does not serve the interests of the club in either case, as this wait in uncertainty disrupts the technical staff and the team. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating! The coming days will shed light on the club's near future.
