Wydad Casablanca bolsters squad as coach Walid Regragui outlines his philosophy

Coach Walid Regragui, now a leading figure in Moroccan football, reflects on his development from the youth setup at Fath Rabat to the high‑pressure environment of Wydad Casablanca, stressing the need to adapt to each club’s identity and culture.

Seeking to revive Wydad’s domestic and continental ambitions after a disappointing season, the club has signed two former World Cup 2022 internationals. Left‑back Yahia Attiat‑Allah returns from a stint in Russia and a loan at Al‑Ahly, bringing 22 caps and experience from Morocco’s historic semi‑final run. Mid‑fielder Yahya Jabrane, a former captain who spent five seasons with Wydad, also re‑joins after a spell in Libya. Both players are expected to support a squad built around star Hakim Ziyech and help restore Wydad’s title‑contending status.
