The club stated that the Moroccan coach and some of his colleagues had exited the team bus after encountering a road accident scene.
Tragically, while attempting to assist at the scene, a Nissan NP200 collided with a stationary vehicle, striking Ouaddou and the Pirates staff, resulting in serious injuries.
The news sent shockwaves through the football community, prompting Ouaddou’s former club, Fulham, to share a heartfelt message.
Fulham wrote on X: "Praying for good news, and sending our best wishes to Abdes Ouaddou and his colleagues at this time."
Ouaddou was with Fulham from 2001 to 2005, making 38 appearances for the London club.
According to Transfermarkt, Fulham paid a significant €3.30 million (approximately R68 million) to sign the then centre-back from French club Nancy in August 2001.
