Morocco's football premier league: no more foreign coaches!

Rabat - For the first time in years, Morocco's football premier league sees no foreign coach at the end of the 15th day

    This came as no decision but it was a sheer coincidence. The season started with a number of foreign coaches: Dos Santos in Wydad Casablanca, Henri Michel in Raja Casablanca and Oscar Fullone in KAC Kenitra, to cite but a few.

    With the passing of the days, these teams opted for Moroccan coaches for lack of positive results.

    The last coach to see himself dismissed was Diego Garzitto of WAC who could only garner three points in five matches. The last victory dates back to the 10th day in the keenly-followed derby with Raja.

    The last straw was a disappointing 0-0 draw against the Jeunesse Sportive de Kasbat Tadla (JSKT), the last team in the standing.

    WAC was then obliged to make a change, especially as Garzitto ducked responsibility for the results, claiming that it was not he who chose the players who joined the team in the beginning of the season.

    At the end of the first-leg matches, Moghreb F's won the symbolic title of the autumn championship, ending first with 27 points ahead of Olympique Khouribga, which lost to Raja 2-1 in the last few minutes.

    The last day was marked by an impregnable 3-0 victory of Kawkab Marrakech over FUS Rabat. It was the first victory under Baddou Zaki after a series of draws and two successive defeats.
