Raja Athletic's president, Jouad Ziyat, has given coach Abdel Karim Ghanani the green light to form his support team for the remainder of the current season. This move confirms the club's trust in Ghanani's abilities and converts his role from interim coach to permanent coach. Ghanani was appointed as the team's coach after a series of poor performances, and the team has since won two consecutive matches, earning six points.
According to a source close to the club, Ziyat expressed his confidence in Ghanani's work during the last two rounds of the national championship. The team's victories against the Royal Army and Union de Tangier have restored the team's reputation and earned Ghanani the support of the fans. The fans have been calling for Ghanani, a former player of Raja Athletic, to be given the opportunity to lead the team for the remainder of the season.
The club's management has taken advantage of the current international break to allow Ghanani to continue correcting the team's mistakes and building a strong squad. The team will face two official matches against Niger's national team during this break. The management believes this break will give Ghanani the opportunity to prepare the team for the challenges ahead, including the league, the Throne Cup, and the Confederation Cup.
Raja Athletic will resume its Confederation Cup campaign after the international break, facing off against Togo's Esco de Kara. This match will require the postponement of the team's league match against Widad Temara. Ghanani will aim to regain the trust of his players during the international break, ahead of the team's crucial match against Esco de Kara.
In related news, Raja Athletic has reopened negotiations with goalkeeper Mehdi Lahriar and defender Ismail Makhlouf to renew their contracts, which expire at the end of the current season. Lahriar has shown willingness to renew his contract, while Makhlouf has requested a deadline to consider his options.
Makhlouf had previously expressed concerns about his role in the team, but the issues have been resolved through an agreement between all parties. The player has stated that Raja Athletic remains his preferred choice, despite receiving offers from other teams in the league.
The team's management is optimistic about Ghanani's ability to lead the team to success, and the coach will be given the opportunity to prove himself in the remaining matches of the season. The team's fans are eagerly awaiting the team's next performances, hoping that Ghanani will bring a new level of success to the club.
