Season summary

In the 2012–13 season, led by Argentine coach Miguel Angel Gamondi.^[2] The start was bad three defeats, two wins and a draw, in the sixth round against ES Setif and after the loss Gamondi was sacked from his post and replaced by former Olympique de Marseille coach Rolland Courbis as their new coach.^[3] who gave a good start and the end of the first leg with six wins, two draws and one defeat, in the return stage in the Ligue Professionnelle 1 was not a good start, and it was clear that winning the first Algerian professional league was very difficult, the start of the team focusing on the Algerian Cup and the Arab Club Champions Cup, where it was initially in the Algerian Cup in the semi-final against MC Oran. USMA achieved the most important goal through Noureddine Daham.^[4] to reach the team's final for the seventeenth time in history and the first in six years. In the Arab Club Champions Cup it was an easy road but in the semi-final against Ismaily SC, it was a difficult meeting that ended with a penalty shootout for USMA to reach the final for the first time in their history, but in the Confederation Cup, the club did not set it as a major goal and were excluded from the second round after losing against US Bitam.

In the Algerian Cup Final against neighbor MC Alger in the Algiers Derby for the fifth time in history. USM Alger defeated of them with a goal scored by Mokhtar Benmoussa.^[5] USMA won its eighth title. Also this was the first time that Al Ittihad won against Mouloudia in the final after four defeats before. After the end of the match and while heading to get the medals, MC Alger refused to go up in protest against the performance of referee Djamel Haimoudi.^[6] Two weeks later, USMA won its first Arab Club Champions Cup title after defeating Kuwait's Al-Arabi club 3–2 in aggregate in the 2012–13 UAFA Club Cup final. The match saw the presence of a number of state officials led by Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal who handed the cup to the captain Mohamed Rabie Meftah.^[7]
