Lamine Ndiaye takes the helm at USM Alger

Lamine Ndiaye is set to take charge of USM Alger. The Senegalese tactician and the Algerian giants have reached an agreement.

Just two weeks after leaving TP Mazembe, Lamine Ndiaye is already making headlines with a swift return to management. According to information from Compétition, Ndiaye is expected in Algiers this Thursday to sign a contract and succeed Abdelhak Benchikha at USM.

Both parties have agreed on all terms of the deal. Some sources mention a six-month contract with an option for extension.

At 69 years old, the Senegalese coach is a true connoisseur of African football. A former Senegal national team manager, he has led TP Mazembe twice (2010-2013 and 2023-2026).

A massive challenge awaits Lamine Ndiaye in Algeria. The club, currently sitting 8th in the Algerian Ligue 1, is primarily focused on preparing for the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals.
