Mokwena’s Future on the Line Ahead of Casablanca Derby Showdown

Rulani Mokwena’s tenure at Wydad Casablanca hangs by a thread as the Moroccan giants prepare for a critical derby clash against fierce rivals Raja Casablanca on Matchday 26 of the Botola Pro.

High Stakes After Cup Exit

Wydad’s shock elimination from the Throne Cup at the hands of Maghreb de Tétouan has increased pressure on the South African tactician. Club officials are reportedly weighing up a coaching change, with Saturday’s derby now seen as a decisive moment.

Mokwena’s Bold Pledge

In a show of accountability, Mokwena has reportedly promised to resign — without demanding compensation — if he fails to win Wydad’s remaining five league matches.

“Mokwena made it clear to Wydad’s board that he would leave on his own terms if he doesn’t complete the task,” a source close to the club revealed.

Derby With Everything on the Line

Currently sitting second with 43 points, Wydad leads Raja by six points after 25 rounds. But a defeat in the derby could not only dent their title ambitions — it might also bring an early end to Mokwena’s North African adventure.

As tension builds in Casablanca, all eyes will be on Saturday’s derby — a game that may decide not just local bragging rights, but the future of Wydad’s head coach.
