Presidency
He sacked coach Azzedine Aït Djoudi immediately after the end of the game between ES Sétif and ES Tunis due to the elmination of the club in the second leg of the semi-final of the Arab Champions League played in Rades Stadium.
Zekri was sacked from his managerial position at ES Sétif on the 18th of August 2010, due to the poor results gained at the 2010 CAF Champions League group stage. The 1-0 loss against Zimbabwe side Dynamos was the final straw for Abdelhakim Serrar.
