With Rulani Mokwena having recently parted ways with Wydad Athletic Club, it has now been suggested that the Moroccan giants have benefited from cutting ties with the South African coach.
Mokwena's stint at Wydad came to an end with just a few matches remaining in the 2024/25 season.
He was replaced by Mohamed Amine Benhachem, who has been tasked with overseeing the final three league fixtures.

This past weekend, Benhachem took charge of his first match as interim coach during Wydad's clash against AS FAR.
Wydad secured a 2-1 victory in the match, leaving them just three points away from potential CAF Champions League qualification, with two matches remaining.
Hicham El Amrani, a sports analyst on the programme The Truth in 90 Minutes, said that the change in coaching staff made the difference.
“Wydad showed a different spirit and better tactical organisation, which confirms the team has benefited from the change in technical management.”
He added: “Benhachem knew how to place each player in their proper position, which gave the team greater cohesion on the pitch, unlike what we saw during Mokwena’s tenure, where there was a lack of spirit and harmony.”
