Raja Casablanca coaching and administrative crisis

Raja Casablanca is facing technical and administrative instability following a period of inconsistent performance in the Moroccan Professional League. The club terminated the contract of Spanish head coach Paco Jémez after only two months in charge.

Following an evaluation by the club’s sports commission, the dismissal was prompted by results that failed to meet sporting objectives. During his tenure, Jémez managed six matches, recording two victories and four draws. Despite remaining undefeated in those fixtures, the team sits in 13th place in the Botola Pro standings, nine points behind the league leader.

National coach Abdelkarim El Jinnani is expected to lead the team for an upcoming match against AS FAR. The crisis has expanded to include the club’s sporting director, Rogério Matias, whose future remains under discussion due to fan dissatisfaction with recruitment and management.

Financial challenges have complicated the situation, as reports indicate that terminating the current technical staff’s contracts could cost over 600 million centimes.
