The Press — The Counter is Already Open and the Reasons Matter Little
Sofiene Hidoussi has left CAB and succumbed to pressure. Sometimes, this concerns a technician whose qualities no one doubts, but who suffers from chronic restlessness, which pushes him, for reasons only he can explain, to look elsewhere.
He is therefore not an example of continuity. Others have left, like Mohamed Tlemçani, Lassâad Dridi, and Wajdi Bouazzi, once the first results were recorded. However, some are kept in their positions in the name of continuity. But this is extremely rare, and these changes are the result of a fear that grips the management committees, often obsessed with the "psychological shock" that sometimes plays tricks on them.
Nevertheless, it would be necessary to adopt the principle of continuity and impose it on clubs plagued by restlessness, which believe that changing the coach is always a solution to relaunch the results. The choice of continuity for a coach means keeping him even if the results or challenges do not follow. This reaction can come from confidence in the work accomplished by the coach, while avoiding disrupting the team's dynamics by opting for medium- or long-term stability.
The advantages of continuity are, in fact, convincing. Since the coach knows the team, the players, and the environment well, it favors communication and cohesion. Change can bring disruptions in terms of tactics, relationships, and psychology.
Everything will depend on the results and the reaction of the supporters and management. However, the coach must be a technician willing to question himself, analyze, and adapt. Stubbornness can sometimes cost the title, but it is certainly at the base of the forced divorce and the overhaul of the entire program established at the beginning of the season, there is a misunderstanding.
This can lead to a loss of confidence that calls into question the projected performances and ambitions. New ideas or new approaches are then necessary to get the group back on track. This is not always easy.
