The Wydad Athletic Club’s technical staff, led by interim coach Mohamed Amin Benhachem, is set to make a decision to strip defender Jamal Harqas of the captaincy due to a noticeable decline in his performance during recent matches.
Benhachem, who took over following the departure of South African coach Rulani Mokwena, has begun a comprehensive evaluation of the key players’ performances, utilizing video analysis to assess their contributions. This is part of his initial steps to restore balance to the team, with a strong inclination to hand the captaincy to another player who has a greater impact on the pitch.
Informed sources have indicated that Hicham Ait Manna, the club president, has granted the interim coach broad powers to implement technical and tactical changes within the squad, aiming for positive results in the remainder of the professional league season.
A decision regarding the new team captain is expected in the coming days, while Benhachem continues to work on correcting Wydad’s sporting path, amidst heightened anticipation from the fans who hope for improved performance and a return to winning ways.
