Raja Club Athletic and the Rise of Portuguese Coaches
This season, the landscape of Moroccan football is being shaped significantly by the influx of Portuguese coaches, with seven professionals from Portugal currently at the helm of various clubs. They are joined by Algerian coach Abdelhak Benchikh, Tunisian Nabi Nsir Din, and Italian trainer Arena, who is with Ittihad Tawraka. In contrast, there are only six national coaches who will be present at the starting line of the new season.
Among these six national coaches, three have notable connections with Raja Club Athletic, highlighting the club's influence on the Moroccan football scene. These coaches include Hilal Tair, currently coaching Hassania Agadir, Abdel Karim Jinan, who is with Moghreb Tétouan, and the returning Youssef Safri, who has taken the reins at Kawkab Marrakech. This trend underscores the lasting impact Raja Club Athletic has had on the technical frameworks of national clubs, and as the new season approaches, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how these coaches will fare in terms of performance and resilience.
