This past weekend, the Red Castle suffered yet another setback in their aspirations to capture the highly coveted second place, as they drew 1-1 with eternal rivals Raja Club Athletic.
The result marked their fifth successive draw in the Botola Pro Inwi and comes just a week after they were eliminated from the Moroccan Throne Cup. They are now four points adrift of the final CAF Champions League qualification spot.
Last week, it was confirmed that Mokwena would be leaving Casablanca at the end of the season. However, such is the rumoured anger among Wydad stakeholders that Kooora has reported the club’s executives are planning an inquisition into how the South African tactician was allowed to have a $1 million (R18 million) release clause inserted into his contract.
According to the aforementioned publication, the chiefs of the three-time African champions have sent a letter to president Hicham Aït Menna demanding a meeting before the team travels to the United States of America.

In this meeting, they will not only be seeking clarification as to why the clause to release Mokwena before the end of the season was so high, but will also demand more information regarding why the Moroccan administrator had promised supporters that the club would sign a Moroccan international who was part of the nation’s historic run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, prior to the Club World Cup.
