From Rise to Abyss: Kénitra Club Between Chaos in Management and Floundering Results
The Kénitra Club, one of the oldest teams in the history of Moroccan football, is facing a difficult situation this year, despite having achieved promotion to the National Second Division at the beginning of the season. Instead of this achievement serving as a new starting point to restore past glories, the team finds itself ensnared in a whirlwind of technical and administrative problems that places it at risk of relegation back to the National Third Division, a shock for its loyal fanbase that had hoped to see their team return to prominence.
The first signs of the crisis are reflected in the coach’s poor choices, with his player signings failing to meet the expectations of the fans or the competitive demands of the second division. The team lacks cohesion on the pitch, and there is a notable absence of collective performance, which adversely affects the results. The lack of a clear playing identity and the confusion in the starting lineup highlight the improvisation in technical work and the weak medium-term vision.
However, the issues are not limited to the technical side; the roots run deeper, manifesting in poor management and excessive interference from the club president, who has begun to meddle in player selections and make unilateral decisions without consulting the coaching staff or the management committee. This interference has undermined the coach’s authority and created a tense atmosphere within the team, leading to a breakdown of trust among different components, which has directly impacted the players’ performance on the field.
What Kénitra Club is currently enduring is not merely a crisis of results; it is the outcome of accumulated administrative chaos, a lack of sports governance, and a sports project devoid of a clear vision. Between a fanbase yearning for past glories and a reality marked by absurdity, the historic club is lost in a maze that seems difficult to escape without urgent and serious intervention.
Rescuing the team starts with restructuring the management, granting full powers to the technical staff, and putting an end to personal interventions. Moreover, it is imperative to work on strengthening the human resources with experienced elements capable of bearing the pressures of the second division. Genuine support from the fans and the passionate guardians of the club has become an urgent necessity before it is too late.
Kénitra Club does not deserve to be in this position, and its rich history demands that all components rally to salvage what can be saved before the dream turns into a nightmare, relegating the team to a division unworthy of its name and its supporters.
