Wydad Casablanca Announces Departure of Mohamed Amine Benhachem
In a recent development, Wydad Casablanca has officially announced the amicable termination of its contract with coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem following the team’s exit from the CAF Cup. This decision comes after various rumors had circulated regarding Benhachem's potential departure, but it has now been confirmed in a statement released on March 23, 2026. The club expressed its gratitude towards Benhachem for his contributions during his tenure, stating, "Wydad wishes him every success in his future professional endeavors."
Benhachem took over the reins at Wydad at the end of the previous season, just before the club's participation in the Club World Cup held in the United States. Unfortunately, the team did not manage to secure a victory during this prestigious tournament, exiting in the group stage without any wins. Despite a commendable end to the domestic season that secured qualification for the CAF Cup, Wydad’s continental journey was cut short on March 22, when they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Olympic Safi, following a closely fought aggregate score of 2-2 (1-1 in the first leg and 1-1 in the second leg).
Looking Ahead
The parting of ways with Benhachem marks a significant moment for Wydad Casablanca as they seek to rebuild and reassess their strategies moving forward. The club now faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement who can lead the team to success in both domestic and international competitions. As the new phase begins, fans and stakeholders alike remain hopeful that the next chapter will bring renewed vigor and accomplishments for Wydad.
