In an announcement on his Facebook page, Ivorian footballer Florian Danho revealed that he is leaving Tunisian club Espérance de Tunis to join Moroccan side Wydad Athletic Club of Casablanca. Danho expressed his excitement about the new challenge, stating that he is "very happy to join the Wydad Moroccan club, a new journey in a new challenge." He also took the opportunity to thank the management and supporters of Espérance Sportive de Tunis for their support during his time at the club.
Florian Danho joined Espérance de Tunis in September 2025 from Danish club Randers. During his time at the Tunisian club, he established himself as a key player, contributing significantly to the team's success, including their qualification for the semi-finals of the African Champions League. Danho played in 38 matches across all competitions last season, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists.
The 26-year-old Ivorian striker's transfer to Wydad Casablanca comes after weeks of speculation and negotiations. Earlier, an agreement in principle had been reached with Libyan club Al-Ittihad Tripoli, but the deal fell through. Wydad Casablanca eventually secured Danho's services with an improved offer that was accepted by both parties.
Danho's departure from Espérance de Tunis marks a significant change for the Tunisian club, which had relied heavily on his attacking prowess. The club will need to find alternative solutions to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming season. Danho's move to Wydad Casablanca is expected to bolster the Moroccan side's attacking capabilities.
Wydad Casablanca is a prominent club in Moroccan football, with a rich history of success in domestic and continental competitions. The club's acquisition of Danho is seen as a strategic move to strengthen their squad and enhance their chances of success in the upcoming season.
Florian Danho's transfer is not the only recent development in Tunisian football. Other notable transfers include the move of Nigerian striker Kingsley Eduwo to Etoile du Sahel. The Tunisian football league continues to attract talented players from across Africa, reflecting the country's growing reputation as a hub for football talent.
As the new season approaches, fans of Espérance de Tunis and Wydad Casablanca will be eager to see how the teams perform with their updated squads. For Danho, the move to Wydad Casablanca presents an opportunity to continue his growth and success in a new competitive environment.
