Wydad Athletic Club, one of Africaβs most successful football clubs, has bolstered its backroom staff with a significant boardroom appointment that could provide crucial support to head coach Rulani Mokwena. The move comes as part of the clubβs efforts to further strengthen its operational structure and continue its push for both domestic and continental success.
The new appointment is expected to have a direct impact on the coaching staff, offering Mokwena valuable assistance in both the tactical and strategic aspects of managing the team. The addition to the boardroom will bring in fresh perspectives and expertise, which could complement Mokwenaβs innovative approach to coaching and provide additional resources for his managerial tasks.

Mokwena, who has already shown great promise in his managerial career, leading both Mamelodi Sundowns and the South African national team, will now have the benefit of working closely with this new boardroom figure, who will help in areas such as player recruitment, analysis, and overall club strategy. This collaboration is expected to enhance Wydadβs competitive edge, especially as they aim to challenge for major titles, including the CAF Champions League and the Moroccan league.
The appointment is seen as a sign of Wydad’s ambition to not only maintain their dominance in Moroccan football but also improve their standing on the continental stage. The club has consistently been one of the top teams in Africa, and this strategic move highlights their commitment to ensuring they have the necessary support and infrastructure to remain at the top of their game.
With Mokwenaβs tactical acumen and the added support from the new boardroom appointment, Wydad is expected to continue its quest for glory, both domestically and in international competitions. Fans and experts will be closely watching how this new addition to the backroom staff helps shape the future of the club under Mokwenaβs leadership.
