Wydad AC management has finalized an agreement with French coach Patrice Carteron to lead the team, succeeding Mohamed Amine Benhachem. This move raises several questions given the coach's most recent experience.

Carteron's last venture was with Umm Salal, where he recorded a negative record, suffering 10 defeats in 13 matches, with only 3 victories. These statistics do not reflect technical stability for the team.

The struggles were not limited to the number of defeats but also extended to their nature. Under his leadership, the team suffered heavy losses, most notably an 8-3 defeat against Al-Sadd and a 5-0 loss to Al-Shamal. Additionally, there were other harsh defeats with scores like 4-2 and 3-0 on multiple occasions, which highlighted clear defensive fragility during that period.

This situation presents a significant challenge for Wydad's management. They are banking on Carteron's experience to restore balance to the Red Team, even though his recent technical indicators do not appear reassuring, as they await what the upcoming phase will bring for the Red Castle.
