Wydad Athletic Club have reportedly decided the final outcome of coach Rulani Mokwena's feud with player Nassim Chadli.
Mokwena's dispute with Chadli has been widely publicised, as the two are said to have clashed on several occasions, causing tension in the dressing room.

According to reports, the issues between the pair began to surface in November 2024, after Chadli started questioning his coach's decision to leave him out of the team.
The situation is said to have worsened in December, as a frustrated Chadli reportedly told the South African tactician to exclude him from the squad entirely if he was going to continue placing him on the bench.
Chadli is believed to have argued that he joined Wydad from French Ligue 1 side Le Havre with the aim of consistently starting matches.
Ultimately, an argument ensued between the winger and Mokwena, with reports suggesting that other players had to intervene to calm the situation.
Chadli missed several training sessions following his most recent dispute with Mokwena but was allowed to return to the squad this week.
Now, according to the Arabic news outlet Yalla Shoot, Wydad have decided that Chadli will not leave the club during the January transfer window despite his conflict with the coach.
Instead, the Moroccan giants have determined that the 23-year-old attacker will only be permitted to leave at the end of this season.
The report claims that this decision is thanks to Hassan Benabicha, the club's sporting director, who successfully convinced president Hicham Aït Mena to retain the player for the remainder of the term.
