The club gold era was the 70s when coach Hmid Dhib had built a tea. In all COT spends 27 seasons in the first division (professional level). But, like all districts clubs, the club installed in Mellassine, a popular district of Tunis, was unable to resist the deman and has plummeted in three years to end up in the fourth division in 2007–2008 before rising again to CLP-3, and reaching the quarter-finals of the President Cup this year.

History

It was in July 1945 that the ancestor of the COT, En-Najah Sports was created through a group. The club merged with El Hilal Sports du Den-Den (EHSDD) to form the "Club Olympique Tunisien" (Tunisian Olympic Club) in 1960, and then with the "Association sportive des traminots" (Sports Association of traminots) on 29 June 1966, forming Club Olympique des Transports.
