The 2024–25 season, is ES Sétif's 54th and the club's 23rd consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, ES Sétif are participating in the Algerian 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.[2][3] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[4]
Review
[edit]Background
[edit]On July 9, 2024 ES Setif announced in a press release that it was parting ways with its coach Ammar Souayah. Following this termination of contract, ESS sports director Abdelkarim Bira wanted to honor the Tunisian coach who took over at the head of the club last February.[5] The next day, ES Setif signed a contract with the former coach of ES Mostaganem, Reda Bendriss.[1] His arrival was announced a long time ago, Where Bendriss signed for two seasons. It's just a return home for the Setif native who was a player for ten years at ES Setif before spending a spell as assistant coach and then interim at the helm of ES Setif in 2021–22.[1] On July 19, after a disagreement with the general manager Abdelkrim Bira, Malik Zorgane and Mourad Delhoum leave the administrative staff of ES Sétif.[6] The latter have visibly given in to public pressure, which is demanding big names in this summer transfer window.[6] All their proposals to strengthen the squad of the first team were rejected by the club's management, in particular the Nigerian attackers Tosin, Mrezigue and Ghacha. Not wanting their names to be associated with a failed casting, the two men preferred to withdraw.[6]
