Recent Success of CSS Brings New Life to Provisional Management Committee
The latest good results of CSS, which have lifted the team out of mid-table and into fourth place, have given new momentum to the provisional management committee chaired by Mehdi Frikha. According to La Presse, the management committee will continue its work, ensuring the necessary continuity at the helm of the capital's southern club. The team's good run in L1 has somewhat "saved" coach Mohamed Kouki from an inglorious exit, granting him a contract of trust for the future.
In this context, the new High Support Committee, chaired by Soufien BouĆ¢aziz, satisfied with the good turn the Sfaxians' journey has taken with one match left before the winter break, has provided financial guarantees to Mehdi Frikha to encourage him to move forward and give him the means to brave the difficulties that await, particularly the specter of a new recruitment ban that is looming again and causing fears in the Sfaxians' camp. This comes as sports director Tarek Salem has noted in his address book players of great caliber who could strengthen the current squad.
A Huge Challenge
This new mandate is therefore a huge challenge for Mehdi Frikha's young team, which has not yet shed the heavy burden of last season with colossal debts that have been staggered but whose payment deadlines have not been respected. The High Support Committee has promised to inject 1.5 million dinars into the club's coffers in the first instance, with the aim of diversifying funding sources to erase the entire debt backlog. This is an important assurance for Mehdi Frikha, who has been persuaded to reconsider leaving the presidency of CSS at a critical point in the season, with the hope that the sporting results will continue to bring this wind of optimism, making the balance perfect at the end of the season.
