Will the Olympique Safi Match Be Benhachem's Last as Wydad Coach?

Wydad AC's 1-1 draw against hosts Olympique Safi on Sunday evening, in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals, has reignited debate surrounding the future of coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem at the helm of the Red Castle.

Although Benhachem led Wydad in the first leg, several indicators within the club's circles raise questions about the coach's potential continuation in his role during the upcoming period, especially given the fan pressure demanding a change in the technical staff.

Wydad fans had previously expressed their dissatisfaction with the team's performance, despite last week's 4-3 victory over Ittihad Touarga, believing that the team's display does not meet the club's ambitions in local and continental competitions.

Conversely, club president Hicham Ait Mena continues, for now, to support Benhachem's services, despite media reports linking Wydad with a potential move for coach Hussein Ammouta in the near future.

The coming days remain crucial in determining the future of the Red Castle's technical staff, as club followers wonder whether the first leg against Olympique Safi might indeed be Benhachem's last match as Wydad coach.
