Raja de Casablanca formalized, this Friday, an amicable separation with Portuguese coach Ricardo Sá Pinto, without paying the penalty clause provided for in his contract. In the process, the Casablanca club also ended its collaboration with the Algerian player Yousri Bouzok.
The Raja management committee, under the presidency of Adel Hala, succeeded, after marathon negotiations, in convincing Sá Pinto to amicably terminate his contract.
The agreement stipulates the payment of two months' salary as compensation for the Portuguese technician. This decision follows a series of disappointing results recorded since his arrival at the head of the team replacing Bosnian Rusmir Sefko.
The same source indicates that the club's leaders have temporarily entrusted the management of the team to national coach Hafid Abdel Sadiq, while waiting to appoint a new coach to lead the Aigles Verts.
The Raja management committee also made the decision to amicably terminate the contract of Algerian striker Yousri Bouzouk.
According to a reliable source, Bouzouk waived all of his financial arrears with the club while paying the agreed amount for the termination of his contract with the “Greens” team.
The same source specifies that Bouzok's decline in performance in recent times, combined with the controversy sparked by the affair of the Morocco map on the club's jersey, constituted a decisive factor in this decision. Both parties agreed to terminate the contract six months before its initial end.
Despite these changes, Raja won a valuable victory on Thursday against Union Sportive de Touarga (2-1) during a late match on the 13th day of the Botola Pro, which allows it to move up to 7th place. of the general classification with 20 points.
