New Boss, New Tactics: Ammar Al-Suwaeh Takes the Baton at Al-Malab Al-Tounsi
A new chapter begins as Ammar Al-Suwaeh takes charge of Al-Malab Al-Tounsi.

Coaching Change at Al-Malab Al-Tounsi

On Monday, the management of Al-Malab Al-Tounsi reached an official agreement with veteran coach Ammar Al-Suwaeh to take charge of the first team for the remainder of the season.

The appointment comes to replace Lassad Dridi, who left after agreeing to terminate his contract by mutual consent.

Dridi is expected to take over at Shabab Qsantina (CS Constantine) in Algeria in the near future.

Kooora reported that Dridi's departure followed a lucrative offer to lead CS Constantine.

Dridi met with Al-Malab's president Mohammed Mahjoub, expressing his desire to move to the Algerian club.

The move was somewhat surprising, as Dridi had joined the club in late November, replacing the previous coach.

Punchline 1: If Ammar turns things around, the trophy might need a passport to travel.

Punchline 2: And if Dridi lands in Algeria, the only thing hotter than the deal might be the post-match coffee back home.

Looking Ahead

The Tunisian club will assess how Ammar Al-Suwaeh reshapes the squad for the rest of the season, while Dridi’s move to CS Constantine adds a new chapter to both careers and regional football dynamics.

If the change yields results, fans will start crediting the new leadership with a touch of fresh energy and perhaps a better press conference soundtrack.
