Returning to Antar Yahia case, it is first and foremost the relationship between an employer and an employee. Add to that Yahia was punished twice by the Disciplinary Committee, and for this we preferred to separate ourselves from this employee.[8] The club's first deals were goalkeeper Oussama Benbot then contracted with ES Sétif duo Messala Merbah and Ibrahim Bekakchi, The fourth deal was the former player Abderrahmane Meziane coming from Espérance de Tunis and after great negotiations about the salary, they agreed for 260 million per month for two seasons.[9]

Since the squad has 27 players, management can qualify all new recruits the Franco-Algerian striker refused to leave. After several rounds of negotiation, Achiou and the player failed to agree on an amicable separation. The latter demanded first, compensation that covers the remainder of his lease, which expires on September 28, 2023, in order to sign the termination of his contract.[17]

Denis Lavagne stated that he has 40 years in the world of professionalism, but he has never seen a club start preparations and recruitment with a sports director who does not have a contract (Tewfik Korichi), to leave after one month to appoint another person in his place (Hocine Achiou), who does not have any experience or competence because he does not have any certificate or qualifications He came to revolutionize the team, touching everything, thinking that he knows everything about football.

After a series of negative results and seven consecutive matches without a win, On April 15, USM Alger decided to terminate the services of sports director Hocine Achiou, Asked on national radio about a possible withdrawal from Groupe SERPORT, Achour Djelloul assured that the public company had no intention of separating from USM Alger.[23] Three days after the defeat against MC Oran, Krmpotić was dismissed from his position and USM Alger decided to rely on his assistant Jamil Benouahi to complete the season.[7]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
There was no place for eternity to exist, life begins with a cry and ends with a stroke and the interval between the beginning and the end is a life in which we write what is mentioned about us after death. And you Billel have written with your morals, your humility and your pure spirit what makes your memory immortal in hearts. Every time we want to wake up from the tragedy that befell us, but sadness sends us back to the folds of nostalgia we remember you and our hearts sweeten with what we entrusted about you.
Billel today it is not only Benhammouda family who mourns you and not only USM Alger, but all Algeria will miss you, only in body but you will remain the greatest present in hearts and permanent in minds and you will continue to have an eternal share of prayers. Dear late we do not want the lament to end with a farewell word, we will say to the meeting in the paradise of eternity.

الى الملتقى يا بلال ؛ انا لله وانا اليه راجعون

— Condolence of Secretary General of Union Sportive Médina d'Alger about the death of Billel Benhammouda.[24]

Djelloul said that Réda Abdouche will be with the club next season and his role will be administrative and technical, and that they officially requested to take advantage of Baraki Stadium and that Groupe SERPORT is ready to carry out the remaining works in order to receive it as soon as possible, because Omar Hamadi Stadium has become a danger to the supporters.[25] days later Djelloul was dismissed from his post after the scandal of the exit of containers of Hyundai cars imported by the Tahkout company in 2019, and was replaced by the former CEO of l’entreprise portuaire d’annaba (EPAN) Abdelkarim Harkati temporarily.[1][2] USM Alger achieved their first victory after two months against WA Tlemcen, then in the Algiers Derby they achieved an important and unexpected victory that allowed them to search for a continental participation, and after achieving the fifth victory in a row against Olympique de Médéa Jamil Benouahi stated that he wishes to stay in the club and that he became a fan of the team. On June 9, 2022 After the end of the Algeria A' match against DR Congo A', Madjid Bougherra decided to lay off the players for one day. Billel Benhammouda called his friend to take him home.
