Wydad AC coaching changes

Wydad AC management moved toward terminating the contract of Portuguese coach Paulo Sergio following a disappointing start to the season, where the team secured only five points from twelve possible. The club initially offered 80 million centimes to reach a mutual agreement after a setback against Amel Tiznit.

By October 22, the club officially terminated Sergio’s contract. Under his leadership, the team held ninth place in the league. In his departure statement, Sergio expressed regret for not completing his project, citing “internal management constraints and delays in player arrivals” as significant challenges.

Following the dismissal, the club officially appointed Tunisian coach Nassreddine (Noureddine) Nabi to lead the first team. Nabi, 61, brings extensive experience in African football, having previously managed clubs such as AS FAR Rabat, Raja Casablanca, Young Africans, and Kaizer Chiefs. His appointment is intended to stabilize the team and improve competitiveness in upcoming domestic and continental fixtures. He is expected to be joined by a technical staff including former defender Naïm Aarab.
