Fadlu Davids' Remarkable Return to Raja Casablanca
Former Orlando Pirates head coach, Fadlu Davids, has made significant strides in his quest for the Botola Pro League title in Morocco, achieving a vital victory against another ex-PSL coach. Since his return to Raja Casablanca in September 2025, after a stint with Simba SC, Davids has signed a two-year contract and is determined to lead his team to glory. His previous experience as an assistant under former Buccaneers coach Josef Zinnbauer during Raja's unbeaten double-winning season in 2023/24 has undoubtedly shaped his approach as he takes on the head coach role.
During his tenure thus far, Davids has showcased impressive capabilities, guiding Raja Casablanca to an outstanding record of 11 wins, six draws, and only two losses in the current campaign. This remarkable performance places them in a strong position as they continue to challenge for top honors in Moroccan football. Most recently, Raja faced off against Maghreb de Fès, a team that had been making headlines as surprise title contenders after an impressive 18-match unbeaten streak. However, Davids' tactical acumen shone through as Raja secured a commanding 2-0 victory at the Stade de Fès, propelling them to the summit of the league standings.
Title Race Heating Up for Raja Casablanca
The Casablanca giants are now well-positioned to dominate the title race, with 11 matches remaining in the 2025/26 season. Davids and his team are focused on sustaining their momentum to accumulate the necessary points to clinch the coveted league title. As it stands, Raja Casablanca is not only aiming for domestic glory but also seeking qualification for next season's prestigious CAF Champions League or CAF Confederation Cup. The stakes are high, and the pressure is palpable as the team looks to capitalize on their current form and secure a spot among Africa's elite football clubs.
