FUS Rabat Makes Bold Coaching Change After Historic Championship Win
In a surprising turn of events, FUS Rabat, the newly crowned champions of the Moroccan Pro League, have announced the appointment of Portuguese coach Rui Almeida. This decision comes just days after the team celebrated a momentous victory, clinching their first league title in 41 years. The club's management decided to part ways amicably with Spanish coach Pablo Franco, despite his successful tenure that led to this historic achievement.
FUS Rabat made the announcement through their official Facebook page, highlighting Almeida's extensive coaching resume and his rich experience with various clubs across Europe and internationally. This includes his recent stint in the Moroccan league with Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi, which has provided him with valuable insights into the nuances of Moroccan football. The club expressed their enthusiasm in welcoming Almeida, wishing him all the best in his new role as he embarks on the journey of leading the team into the upcoming season.
At 56 years of age, Almeida brings a wealth of experience, having previously managed teams in the Arab football circuit, including Al-Batin in Saudi Arabia and Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie in Algeria. His appointment signals FUS Rabat's ambition to build on their recent success and compete fiercely in the upcoming season of the CAF Champions League, where they will be joined by runners-up RS Berkane after finishing the league with an impressive 59 points from 30 matches, just two points ahead of their closest rivals.
