The midfielder Adel Bouchiba had the most appearances for the season (at 39), and top goalscorer was Mohamed El Amine Hammia (who scored 9 goals for the club: 5 in Ligue 1 and 4 in the Champions League). The club's head coach at the start of the season was Nabil Neghiz; he was replaced by Karim Zaoui in January 2019.
