Wydad Athletic Club prepare coaching change as Mohamed Amine Benhachem exit looms

Wydad Athletic Club are preparing to part ways with head coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem as pressure mounts following a series of disappointing results.

The club’s board is reportedly close to finalising a decision that could bring an end to Benhachem’s tenure, amid growing frustration among supporters over the team’s recent decline in form.

According to a source cited by Site Info, the management of the Casablanca-based club, led by president Hicham Aït Menna, has decided to delay the announcement of the coach’s departure.

The report indicates that the decision to dismiss Benhachem will not take effect immediately.

Instead, the club intends to wait until after the upcoming match against Olympique de Safi.

The short postponement is said to be aimed at maintaining stability within the squad ahead of the fixture.

Club officials are keen to ensure that players remain focused on the upcoming encounter rather than being distracted by uncertainty surrounding the coaching situation.

The delay also offers Benhachem one final opportunity to lead the team in what could be his last match in charge.

Meanwhile, the same source suggests that Wydad’s management has already begun identifying potential replacements.

Among the names being considered is Houcine Ammouta, a national coach who could be called upon to take charge of the team should Benhachem’s departure be confirmed.

The situation unfolds against the backdrop of a difficult period for the club.

Recent performances have raised concerns among supporters, while results have failed to meet expectations.

Tensions increased further after Wydad suffered a heavy defeat at home in Casablanca against AS FAR, a result that intensified criticism from fans and added pressure on the coaching staff.

As the next match approaches, attention will be focused on whether Benhachem can guide the team to a positive result against Olympique de Safi.

Regardless of the outcome, the coming days appear likely to bring significant change within the Wydad coaching setup as the club seeks to respond to its current difficulties and restore confidence among supporters.
