Wydad Casablanca to decide on Mohamed Amine Benhachem’s future after Olympique Safi game

Wydad Casablanca is currently navigating a tense period of technical review following inconsistent performances in domestic and continental competitions, casting uncertainty over the future of coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem.

The club’s management acknowledges that recent results cannot go unnoticed, particularly with mounting public pressure and contrasting opinions on Benhachem’s tenure.

While the coach has invested effort in restructuring the squad, unresolved internal conflicts have prompted the board to hold evaluation sessions with the technical staff, fueling speculation about whether he will remain in charge.

Despite the uncertainty, reports indicate that Wydad’s leadership has opted to retain Benhachem for now, at least until the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals against Olympique Safi scheduled for next Sunday.

Moroccan media outlet Hesport confirmed that claims of his imminent dismissal ahead of the match are unfounded.

In parallel, the club has begun exploring alternative coaching options as a precaution, responding to growing criticism over the team’s tactical approach.

Management’s priority remains to close the season strongly while preserving Wydad’s chances of returning to the African Champions League next season.

Meanwhile, the Moroccan Professional League announced yesterday a temporary suspension of domestic fixtures to allow teams engaged in continental competitions to focus on their upcoming knockout matches in both the Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.
