Amidst the Crisis: What Role Do Dabbagh and Hermach Play at Wydad?

Wydad Athletic Club is currently experiencing one of its most challenging periods this season, marked by a decline in results and a wave of criticism directed at various club components. This situation has brought to the forefront questions regarding the nature of administrative roles, particularly concerning the responsibilities of Youssef Dabbagh and Adil Hermach.

Fans of the "Red Team" are increasingly questioning the role of the General Manager, who is expected to strategically lead the sports project, particularly concerning player recruitment. However, current outcomes reveal that most new signings have failed to provide the anticipated impact, sparking debate about the effectiveness of the adopted approach to player selection.

Conversely, the role of the Sports Advisor remains shrouded in mystery, despite his continuous presence alongside the team, both in training sessions and matches. There is a lack of clear understanding regarding the nature of his involvement, specifically whether it is limited to providing technical advice or extends to influencing decisions related to team lineups or tactical directions.

The controversy has also extended to coaching selections, as technical changes have failed to achieve the desired stability. This follows Mohamed Amine Benhachem's tenure, which concluded with a continental elimination, and Patrice Carteron's period, which did not yield the hoped-for results. Subsequently, the opportunity was given to club stalwart Mohamed Benchrifa in an attempt to salvage the situation.
