The club has also brought in Portuguese fitness specialist Ricardo Pedro, who will be responsible for the physical conditioning of the players and ensuring the squad maintains the required fitness levels throughout the campaign.

Mohamed Bouabdellaoui has been appointed as the club’s goalkeeping coach, taking charge of the development and preparation of the team’s goalkeepers.

Meanwhile, Noureddine Ou Bilal will take responsibility for video analysis, an increasingly important area of modern football that will involve studying opponents, analysing matches and providing the coaching team with technical information to aid preparation and decision-making.

The appointments form part of Meknes Sports Club’s broader efforts to complete and strengthen its technical structure ahead of the new season.

The club’s management believes that assembling a well-rounded technical team around Pichão will provide the necessary support for the head coach as the team prepares for the challenges ahead.

With the different members of the technical staff bringing specific expertise, Meknes are looking to establish a coordinated structure capable of addressing every aspect of the team’s preparation, from tactical development and match analysis to physical conditioning and goalkeeping.

The arrival of Ricardo Pedro is expected to strengthen the club’s physical preparation programme, while the inclusion of Ou Bilal as a video analyst will provide additional support in analysing the team’s performances and studying upcoming opponents.

The assistant coaches, Dellal and Abdelmaliki, will also play important roles in supporting Pichão during training sessions and match preparation, helping to implement the Portuguese coach’s tactical ideas and maintain communication with the squad.

Bouabdellaoui, meanwhile, will focus specifically on the goalkeepers, working on their technical abilities, positioning, distribution and overall match readiness.

The club believes that the combination of these specialists will create a more complete technical environment around the first team.

Meknes Sports Club are aiming to make significant progress during the upcoming campaign, and the completion of the technical structure represents an important step in their preparations.

The management is also counting on strong cooperation and harmony among the members of the coaching team, with the belief that a unified technical department will help the players adapt to the demands of the new season.

Jorge Pichão will lead the technical team, with his assistants and specialists expected to work closely with him throughout the campaign.

The club’s objective is to ensure that the squad enters the new season physically prepared, tactically organised and technically equipped to compete on all fronts.

Meknes Sports Club will now continue their preparations under the newly assembled technical team, with the coaching staff expected to work intensively on improving the squad’s performances ahead of the start of competitive action.

The club is hopeful that the new structure will provide the stability and expertise required to achieve its sporting objectives and deliver a successful campaign that meets the expectations of its supporters.
