Abdouche stated that it is an adventure to rely on a player who suffered from an injury in Cruciate ligament that kept him out of the field for a year and at his age especially since he's at the end of his contract. As for contracts, Abdouche stated that they contacted players, including former players in the club, and although they promised to sign, they refused to answer their calls and joined other clubs. He also said that they will not pay billions to buy player contracts and that this is not the club's policy and the rest of the clubs are free if they want to, Regarding the stadium, Abdouche said that the interests of the municipality APC and the National Authority for Technical Control of Construction CTC said that Omar Hamadi Stadium poses a danger to the supporters and it was decided to close it and they would play either at Salem Mabrouki Stadium or Omar Benrabah Stadium, especially with the closure of Stade du 5 Juillet until January due to CHAN 2022.[6]
On August 1, 2022, USM Alger delegation expected to move to Antalya, Turkey, to take a 14-day preparatory training for the start of the season.

Bouchina the reason is that his passport is removed from the Spanish embassy and immediately after his recovery, he will be transferred to Turkey, and that the matter is not in their hands especially since the diplomatic relations between the two countries are bad, As for the players salaries Abdouche said that the money entered the club's account on 28 July, after the director of Groupe SERPORT signed it.[7][8] The next day, 14 players, fitness coach Kamel Boudjenane and goalkeeping coach Lounès Gaouaoui signed a document that refused to dismiss Benouahi and demanded the departure of some of those in the administration and the assistant coach Sofiane Benkhelifa who was appointed by the administration, as well as Farid Saffar a person according to the coach and supporters the cause of all the problems and does not have any position in the club.[9][10][11] The leaders of USM Alger have put an end to the functions of the technical staff of Benouahi. The coach and his peers, fitness coach Boudjenane and goalkeeper coach Gaouaoui, were dismissed from their posts after a hearing before the disciplinary board.[3]
