Following the draw against New Soger on Sunday, November 16, some supporters behaved in a manner deemed "inappropriate." In response, the management of Tout Puissant Mazembe (TPM) issued a statement reaffirming its full support for coach Lamine Ndiaye, who had been targeted by Congolese club supporters loudly demanding his departure.

The club, through its president Moïse Katumbi, "condemned in the strongest possible terms" the supporters' actions, describing them as "an unacceptable attempt to destabilize" a coach "who is working diligently and methodically on a clear and coherent sporting project." The management reaffirmed its "complete confidence" in Lamine Ndiaye, specifying that his resignation was "not on the agenda."

In the statement seen by Le Quotidien, TPM also acknowledged the public apologies made by the supporters concerned via a video and called on all fans to support the team with "dignity, loyalty and respect".

After a series of draws, TP Mazembe returned to winning ways on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, defeating Cercle Sportif Don Bosco 3-0 in the Linafoot league. This victory allows the "Ravens" to climb to 11 points and improve their chances of qualifying for the playoffs and CAF interclub competitions.

Senegal's new goalkeeper, Marc Diouf, recorded his second consecutive clean sheet in this match.

A prophet in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), coach Lamine Ndiaye returned to the bench of TP Mazembe in April 2023 after leaving in 2014. A winning return: the Congolese club played in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League last year after three years of drought.
