Rulani Mokwena, the well-known South African coach, and Moroccan football powerhouse Wydad Casablanca have decided to part ways.
This move comes after a period that started with high hopes but faced unexpected hurdles.
Mokwena, who previously led Mamelodi Sundowns to impressive wins in South Africa, took over as head coach of Wydad Casablanca in July 2024.
Under Mokwena’s guidance, Wydad finished third in the Botola Pro League and made it to the group stages of both the Moroccan Throne Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
While these are certainly accomplishments, the team ultimately fell short of its main goals: winning the league title and progressing further in African competitions.
In a joint statement with Wydad Casablanca, Mokwena expressed gratitude for his time with the club.
“As i say goodbye, i carry unforgettable memories from Wydad, a club that will forever remain in my heart. I wish the team, staff, and fans tremendous success in the new season and the club world cup. may you continue to make history and inspire us all. Dima Wydad!”
