Wydad Casablanca has officially confirmed the departure of their coach, Adil Ramzi, a decision reached through mutual agreement. The timing of this announcement has caught many off guard, particularly considering the team’s recent string of three consecutive victories.
Adil Ramzi, who assumed the managerial role on July 22, 2023, bids farewell to the club with Wydad positioned in fourth place in the Botola Pro, having accumulated 19 points from six victories, one draw, and two defeats.
Despite a somewhat turbulent start in the Champions League campaign, marked by two initial group stage losses, Ramzi successfully steered the team towards an upward trajectory, igniting hopes of a spirited comeback.
However, this positive momentum failed to secure his tenure.
Under Ramzi’s leadership, Wydad witnessed a phase of fluctuating performance levels, with notable setbacks such as the defeat in the African Football League final (a 2-1 victory followed by a 2-0 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns) and the initial two matches of the League of Champions.
The decision to part ways with Ramzi, mutually agreed upon, comes at a juncture when the team appeared to be finding its rhythm, raising eyebrows among football enthusiasts and supporters.
The departure marks the end of a relatively brief but eventful chapter in Ramzi’s managerial stint with Wydad Casablanca.
Wydad now faces the task of charting a new course under fresh leadership, and the unexpected nature of this coaching change adds an element of intrigue to the ongoing narrative of the club’s season.
The search for a successor to guide Wydad through its footballing journey is undoubtedly underway, as the team navigates the complexities of mid-season adjustments in pursuit of its aspirations.
