Youssef Safri on the Verge of Leading Kawkab Marrakech
The management team of Kawkab Athletic Club Marrakech has entered into advanced negotiations with national coach Youssef Safri regarding his potential appointment as the head coach of the first team for the upcoming 2026-2027 football season. This move comes following the departure of coach Hicham Dmiri. Sources close to the discussions have indicated significant progress, with most contract terms reportedly agreed upon, pending the completion of some administrative details before an official announcement is made in the coming days.
This strategic maneuver by Kawkab Marrakech's administration is part of a broader initiative aimed at establishing a solid sports project that will ensure the team's strong return to the professional first division. The club is banking on Youssef Safri’s extensive experience gained from his coaching stints both domestically and internationally, alongside his distinguished career as a former international player for the Moroccan national team.
Aiming for Revival and Stability
Kawkab Marrakech is focused on regaining its former glory and status in the professional league during the next season, following a challenging period marked by administrative instability. The club's supporters are eager to see their team return to the forefront of Moroccan football, fueled by a comprehensive sports plan that aims to restore positive results and competitiveness for top positions.
Last season, Kawkab Marrakech finished in tenth place in the professional league, accumulating 36 points under the guidance of coach Hicham Dmiri. In recent weeks, the club had initially engaged coach Reda Hakim, who later withdrew from the role, citing backlash he received on social media platforms regarding changes to the team's technical staff.
