Although Samir Yaâcoub has suffered morally from the attitude of some of his critics, whom he never mentions, he should have known that taking the reins of the club would not be a responsibility without obstacles. In short, it will be said again that this departure in the middle of the competition is a monumental mistake. Leadership is about foresight...
