On Monday, Faouzi Benzarti’s absence from Raja Casablanca’s training session sparked widespread speculation, particularly regarding the Moroccan coach’s potential departure. Benzarti’s standing at Raja has been somewhat diminished since the club’s recent elimination from the African Champions League by Horoya of Guinea.
However, on Tuesday, the former Atlas Lions coach made a return to the Oasis Complex, the training center for the finalists of the last Club World Cup. This development appears to put an end to the swirling rumors.
Benzarti, who arrived as a messianic figure last year, successfully guided Raja to the final of the Club World Cup, where they faced formidable opponents like Ronaldinho’s Atletico Mineiro before ultimately falling short against Bayern Munich.
