With a New Coach at the Helm, USBG Hopes for a Good Result Against CA, Without Getting Too Carried Away
The fans of the "Yellow and Black" team from Ben Guerdane are starting to get really worried about the future of their team, which has only earned 6 points in 7 matches. With only one win, three draws, and three losses, the balance is not reassuring, but rather worrying. The president of the club, Ammar Jery, was forced to take a stand and make the decision to change coaches, letting Nidhal Khiari go and hiring Karim Delhoum. This change will not transform the team overnight, but it could perhaps trigger the necessary psychological shock to get them back on track. "It's going to take time, and we need to be patient," he said in one of his rare media appearances. "Let's not forget that we only took over 15 days before the start of the championship. The work done so far is enormous. We only found six survivors from last season's large squad, and we had to bring in a contingent of 20 players to fill the void and play the first few games."
A Poorly Managed Squad
In parallel, we resolved all the ongoing dispute cases, including those of the two foreign players Presnel Banga and Amour Loussoukou. However, this was not enough to get off to a good start and achieve the desired results. Despite all these difficulties, it must be recognized that the problem was elsewhere, and with this hastily assembled squad, the team could have done better and achieved better results. The main criticisms of Nidhal Khiari are that he chose to play it safe defensively and was too defensive, despite having a significant offensive potential. The last match against JSO, which ended in a dull draw at home, was the final straw. It was necessary to react quickly and get the team back on track. The choice was made to hire coach Karim Delhoum to change the team's direction.
A New Era Begins
The first real test for the new coach will be against CA at Radès this afternoon. While we don't expect a major overhaul of the starting lineup, we do expect a better performance that lives up to the team's ambitions. With the expected return of Lassaâd Hammami in goal, who was replaced by Mohamed Karkouba against El Omrane, a more balanced game between defensive duties and regular presence in the CA's penalty area to prevent them from having too much space and freedom to maneuver, USBG can deliver an honest match and maybe even dream of an unexpected exploit, given their current situation. The team's fans are hoping that the new coach will be able to turn things around and lead the team to a better result against CA. While it won't be easy, they are cautiously optimistic about the team's chances. With a new coach at the helm, USBG is looking to start fresh and make a positive impact on the league.
