2024–25 CS Constantine season

The 2024–25 season, is CS Constantine's 29th season and the club's 14th consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, CS Constantine are participating in this season's editions of the Algerian Cup and the Confederation Cup. On June 27, 2024 The federal office approved the calendar for the 2024–25 Ligue 1 season with the aim of ending on May 31, 2025. The first round is scheduled for September 14, this delay is motivated both by an extended end of the 2023–24 season but also by the holding of early presidential elections which will take place on September 7, 2024.[3][4] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[5]

Background

edit

On June 29, 2024, CS Constantine has parted with its coach Abdelkader Amrani. The president of the club Abdelghani Gourari even affirmed that confidence had been renewed in the coach but it was he who did not want to continue. For his part, Amrani explains that he could not continue with players whose release he requested but whom the club kept.[6] On July 6, 2024 CS Constantine changed president but it is still the same people who lead.[1] SPA CS Constantine announced the appointment of Tahar Chelia as new president, replacing Abdelkader Gourari after two years in office.[1] Moreover it is yet another former president from before the Sonatrach era who was appointed general director namely Yacine Fersadou.[1] On July 19, Kheïreddine Madoui is back at the technical helm of the club as the new coach. Madoui was received at the club headquarters by the general director Yacine Fersadou.[2]
