CS Constantine terminated the contract of Tunisian coach Mondher Kebaier following a 4-2 home defeat against JS El Biar.

ES Setif dismissed Egyptian coach Hamada Sedki after a home loss to CR Temouchent and a record of only one win in six matches. These departures represent a significant shift within the Algerian Professional League as clubs react to recent performance results and external pressure.

The intensity of these changes across the league has left many clubs scrambling to identify successors as the season progresses.
Resignations and Departures Continue

Nabil Maaloul also stepped down from his role at CR Belouizdad on 27 October. The Tunisian coach left the organization immediately after a 2-2 draw against USM Alger.

The departure of Nabil Maaloul adds to the growing list of managers who have exited their posts during this period of high turnover within the Algerian Professional League.
Uncertain Futures for Managers
Khaled Ben Yahia has requested to leave his position as head coach of MC Alger. This decision follows five months of unpaid wages and mounting pressure from the club's fan base. The request notes internal instability within the organization as the Algerian Professional League continues to see a rapid turnover of coaching staff. The financial situation at MC Alger remains a primary concern for the coaching staff, as the lack of payment for five months has created significant friction between the manager and the club hierarchy. No official response from the MC Alger management regarding the departure request has been released as of 28 October. The situation remains fluid as stakeholders monitor whether the club will address the grievances raised by Khaled Ben Yahia or accept his resignation. The ongoing instability has raised questions about the long-term management strategies of clubs currently facing similar administrative and performance-related challenges.
