Breaking news has just emerged about a horrific car accident in Washington, involving the head coach and doctor of the Moroccan club from Casablanca.

Details: Several sources close to the club have shocked Wydad fans with terrible news—Mohamed Amine Benhachem and the team's doctor, Abderrazak Hifti, were involved in a serious car crash today in Washington, D.C.

Fortunately, it was soon reported that both received all necessary medical assistance, and head coach Mohamed Benhachem has regained consciousness—his life is no longer in danger.

It is also confirmed that the team doctor is in a safe condition.

Yesterday, Wydad suffered a 4-1 defeat to Juventus Turin in the FIFA Club World Cup, which ended their hopes of advancing from the group stage and saw them bid farewell to the tournament in the USA.

Benhachem was appointed head coach of Wydad in May 2025, although he had previously served in several key roles at the club, including assistant head coach, interim head coach, and sporting director.
