Fadlu Davids Parts Ways with Raja Casablanca
In a significant move for Moroccan football, Raja Casablanca has officially announced the termination of its contract with coach Fadlu Davids as of June 12, 2026. This decision comes just three days following the team's disappointing 2-0 defeat against Kawkab Marrakech in the Moroccan Premier League, known as Botola. The loss has seen Raja Casablanca drop from its previous second position to fifth in the league standings, a situation that ultimately led to the coaching change.
Fadlu Davids, who joined Raja Casablanca in September of the previous year from Simba SC, had been at the helm for a total of nine months. During his tenure, he managed the team in 23 league matches, achieving 12 victories, six draws, and five losses. However, the club's recent performance did not align with the high expectations set by the management and the passionate fanbase.
The official statement from Raja Casablanca emphasized the amicable nature of the split, expressing gratitude towards Davids for his contributions during his time with the club. It noted, "Raja Club Athletic announces the conclusion of its partnership with coach Fadluraghman Davids, along with his coaching staff, through a mutual agreement between both parties. The club thanks Mr. Fadluraghman Davids for his efforts with the senior team and wishes him and his staff success in their future professional endeavors." Furthermore, the club reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling the aspirations of its loyal supporters and achieving its established goals to enhance its prestigious history.
As Raja Casablanca looks to rebound from this setback, fans and analysts alike will be keenly observing how the club approaches its next steps in the league, hoping for a swift return to form and contention for the title.
