While rumors are becoming more and more insistent about a possible return of the former coach of Tunisia, Faouzi Benzarti, Wydad Casablanca has provided a firm denial.
Five wins, 3 draws, 4 defeats. This is the very average record of Rulani Mokwena, inducted in mid-July, crowned with his 4 South African championship titles and the very first crown in the African Football League (formerly Super League) with the Mamelodi Sundowns . Result: after eight days, the Wydad Botola is in ninth place out of 16 teams, 6 points behind leader RS Berkane.
That was all it took to call into question the 37-year-old South African technician. Especially since a change of president at the head of the club is likely to further weaken its position. Hence the rumors about a potential return to the bench of a fine connoisseur of the house, Faouzi Benzarti.
Wydad never contacted Benzarti, we assure internally
Having spent four times with the Wydadis (January-July 2018, 2018-2019, 2020-2021, 2023-2024), the experienced 74-year-old technician has in fact been free since his departure from the team. Tunisia last October 22. However, his arrival is not on the agenda at Château Rouge. This is what the specialized account explains Micky Jnr.
The newly elected president, Hicham Aït Menna, would have no intention of bringing back the ex-coach of Hope of Tunis. Internally, we deny having contacted the Tunisian. The new strong man of the Casablanca team, on the contrary, gave his total support to Mokwena so that he continues his work at Morocco. However, the pressure is clearly mounting on the shoulders of the thirty-year-old, and the next deadlines could be decisive for his future.
