Mohamed Benchrifa is set to lead his first training session as head coach of Wydad AC today, starting at 5 PM at the Benjelloun complex. He takes over from French coach Patrice Carteron, according to Albotola sources.

Benchrifa's appointment comes after a period during which Carteron failed to secure any victories since taking charge, succeeding coach Amine Benhachem. This lack of success sparked a wave of criticism among the club's fanbase, particularly regarding the management of the recent phase.

Criticism also intensified against club president Hicham Ait Mena following the team's elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup by Olympic Safi, further increasing pressure within the club's environment.

Wydad fans are now counting on "son of the club" Benchrifa to restore balance to the team for the remainder of the season, both in the Botola Pro League and the Moroccan Throne Cup competitions.
