Three months were enough. Since his appointment in February 2026 at the helm of USM Alger, Lamine Ndiaye has completely transformed the face of the team. The first trophy in Algeria is in the bag, and the CAF Confederation Cup final is secured: Ndiaye’s impact has been nothing short of immediate.
Algerian Cup in the trophy cabinet!
Lamine Ndiaye wasted no time leaving his mark on USM Alger. He arrived in February 2026 in the Algerian capital from TP Mazembe, taking over a team searching for stability after Abdelhak Benchikha stepped down at the end of January. His contract runs until the end of the 2025-2026 season with an extension option: the mission was clear and the timeframe extremely tight.
Just three months later, the results speak for themselves. The former midfielder of the “Teranga Lions” has led USM Alger to Algerian Cup glory, defeating CR Belouizdad 2-1 on April 30 in the final.

Confederation Cup within reach!
The first title on Algerian soil. More importantly, he has guided the Red and Black to the final of the CAF Confederation Cup. A feat that has put Algeria back in the continental spotlight.
Thanks to his vast African experience with TP Mazembe and his background as a former Senegal national team coach, Lamine Ndiaye has brought USM Alger back to the forefront. One last challenge awaits. The Soustara club will face Zamalek of Egypt on May 9 and 16 in the two-legged Confederation Cup final. And despite their slip in the Algerian league, the team is capable of achieving a historic double under Lamine Ndiaye’s leadership.
