Concerns loom large among Wydad Casablanca officials following a string of poor results under the leadership of Tunisian coach Faouzi Benzarti.
The team’s inability to shake off its recent setbacks was evident once again as they succumbed to a 1-2 defeat against Fath Union Sport in a Moroccan league fixture on Wednesday.
Sources close to the club revealed that Wydad’s management has summoned Benzarti for an urgent meeting to discuss the reasons behind the team’s loss to Fath Union Sport.
Despite the club’s efforts to address the situation by fulfilling Benzarti’s requests, including the appointment of his compatriot Radouane El Filali as assistant coach and the acquisition of eight new players during the winter transfer window, the team has yet to find its rhythm.
Since Benzarti took charge, Wydad Casablanca has played seven league matches, managing only one victory, with three losses and three draws.
Currently sitting in fourth place in the Moroccan league standings with 25 points, Wydad finds itself grappling with both domestic and continental challenges.
In the CAF Champions League group stage, the team languishes at the bottom of its group with just three points from four matches.
The club’s recent performances have raised concerns among fans and stakeholders alike, prompting the management to take decisive action to address the situation and steer the team back on track.
As the pressure mounts on Benzarti to deliver results, the upcoming meeting is expected to serve as a platform for candid discussions on the team’s performance and strategies to overcome its current predicament.
Wydad Casablanca remains determined to reclaim its winning form and uphold its reputation as one of Morocco’s top football clubs.
However, with challenges both on the domestic front and in continental competitions, the road ahead appears daunting, requiring unity, determination, and decisive leadership to navigate successfully.
