The management board of Wydad Athletic Club (WAC) in Casablanca has officially announced the resignation of its president, Hicham Aït Menna, citing a desire to uphold the responsibilities and commitments associated with their roles. In a formal statement, the club indicated that the board would step down during the upcoming ordinary general assembly, underscoring its intention to ensure a smooth transition of leadership as part of its ongoing commitment to the club's stability and integrity.
Additionally, the club has opened applications for new leadership positions for the upcoming sports season of 2026/2027, with the application period running from May 5 to June 5, 2026. This process is part of the preparations for the ordinary general assembly, which is aimed at fostering a democratic transition and maintaining the club's best interests throughout this significant change.
WAC's Underwhelming Performance Sparks Leadership Changes
This announcement comes as no surprise given the WAC's disappointing performance this season. Despite significant investments aimed at attracting high-caliber players such as Hakim Ziyech, Nordin Amrabat, and Wissam Ben Yedder, the team's results have not met expectations. Currently sitting fourth in the Botola league after a recent loss to Renaissance de Zemamra, the club's trajectory raises concerns among its supporters and stakeholders alike.
On the continental stage, WAC faced another setback, being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the CAF Cup by Olympique Club de Safi. The ongoing instability is compounded by a frequent turnover of coaches, which reflects a lack of strategic continuity and has further weakened the team's cohesion as it struggles to find its footing amidst a turbulent season.
