Wydad AC has embarked on a new technical phase, appointing Mohamed Bencherifa as head coach, succeeding Frenchman Patrice Carteron. This move aims to reorganize the team during the remainder of the season.

Bencherifa, along with his new technical staff, will oversee his first training session today, Thursday, starting at 5 PM at the Benjelloun Complex, marking the official beginning of a new era for the Red Castle.

This change comes after a period where Carteron failed to secure any victories since taking over from Amine Benhachem, leading to a wave of criticism within the team's circles, particularly from the fans.

Pressure also mounted on the club's management, led by Hicham Ait Mena, following Wydad's elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup against Olympique Safi, which further deepened the dissatisfaction within the Wydadi camp.

The new technical staff includes various assistant and technical members who will work alongside Bencherifa as part of a project aimed at restoring discipline and improving performance. Wydad fans are eagerly awaiting to see if this change can steer the team back to positive results in the league and the Throne Cup.
