Wydad Casablanca have officially parted with South African coach Rulani Mokwena in less than a year since the latter joined.
Mokwena took the reins at the Moroccan club at the beginning of the season after he parted company with Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of the start of the current campaign.
However, his season with Wydad was somewhat inconsistent, leading to groups of fans calling for his sacking.
The club has now announced that the former Masandawana tactician leaves the club with his technical team.

“Wydad Athletic Club and Rulani Mokwena have mutually agreed to terminate their contract with immediate effect,” the club stated.
“The club expresses its deepest gratitude to coach Mokwena and his technical staff for their unwavering commitment, hard work, and sacrifices during a challenging season.
“Their professionalism and dedication have left an indelible mark on the club. Both parties convey their best wishes for each others future endeavours, united in gratitude and mutual respect.”
MOKWENA – ‘I CARRY UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES FROM WYDAD’
Meanwhile, sharing his words of gratitude, Mokwena said, “As I say goodbye, I carry unforgettable memories from Wydad, a club that will forever remain in my heart.”
“I wish the team, staff, and fans tremendous success in the new season and the Club World Cup. May you continue to make history and inspire us all. Dima Wydad.”
In his 35 games across all competitions, Mokwena oversaw 14 victories, 14 draws, and 7 defeats, with his team netting 49 goals and allowing 32.
