Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca have reportedly summoned the agent of head coach Rhulani Mokwena following the leak of sensitive contract details to the media.
The move comes after several South African publications claimed that Mokwena and his assistant coaches had gone unpaid for eight months.
However, the leaked document paints a different picture, indicating that the technical team had received full salaries since their arrival, with only two months’ payment outstanding.
The leak has sparked concern within Wydad’s management, prompting the club to seek clarity from Mokwena’s representative about the origin of the breach and who might be behind it.
Tensions between Wydad and Mokwena appear to be rising. Sources suggest the club is already laying the groundwork for a possible coaching change, appointing Moroccan tactician Mohamed Amine Benhachem as sporting director—a move seen as preparation for a potential new appointment.
Your trusted source, AfricaSoccer.com, has revealed that terminating Mokwena’s contract could cost the club a hefty $1 million payout.
The South African coach has come under increasing scrutiny following Wydad’s underwhelming domestic campaign, which saw them miss out on the Botola Pro title and suffer a quarterfinal exit in the Moroccan Throne Cup.
Wydad’s next major test comes in the form of a fierce derby clash against arch-rivals Raja Casablanca on Saturday, April 12, at the iconic Stade Mohammed V—a match that could prove decisive for Mokwena’s future at the club.
