Questions Arise Over Criteria for Cartieron's Appointment by Ait Mena and Hermach

Wydad AC continues to suffer negative results under the leadership of its French coach Patrice Cartieron, following a new home defeat against Ittihad Yaacoub El Mansour (2-1) in the 17th round of the Professional League. This outcome has further deepened the crisis of results within the 'Red Team'.

This defeat solidifies a poor record since the start of Cartieron's tenure, prompting questions within the club's circles regarding the criteria behind signing the French coach at this sensitive stage of the season.

This situation has brought back to the forefront discussions about the criteria adopted by the executive board, led by President Hicham Ait Mena, alongside sports advisor Adil Hermach, in choosing Cartieron. This is particularly pertinent given that some voices had called for the appointment of a more rigorous and disciplined coach capable of enforcing stability within the squad.

Wydad fans are raising questions about the rationale behind this choice, and whether the decision to appoint Cartieron was based on a clear technical vision or influenced by other considerations related to a transitional phase within the team. This comes at a time when there was a pressing need for a coach who could enforce discipline and restore balance within the dressing room.
