Ibrahim Al-Asri, president of Wydad Casablanca, is set to hold a meeting with Portuguese coach Paulo Sergio to discuss the team's performance in their first match of the season, which ended in a 3-1 defeat against Wydad Temara.
According to media reports, the meeting will be dedicated to assessing the performance shown by Yahiya Jbari's teammates, as well as discussing the technical and tactical aspects that have impacted the team's level, reviewing the players' performances, and exploring the necessary solutions to correct the course in the upcoming matches.
The loss has sparked differing opinions within the club's management, with some members calling for Paulo Sergio to be given an additional chance to rectify mistakes, while others believe that the poor start necessitates a change in the coaching staff.
In contrast, Wydad Casablanca's president has preferred to wait and not rush into making any decisions, considering that judging the coach's work after just one match does not reflect a sufficient picture of the team's level, especially since the league competition is still in its first round.
According to the same source, Al-Asri insists on evaluating the work of the technical staff after a suitable number of official matches, in line with what was agreed upon within the management office before the start of the season, rather than making hasty decisions under the influence of a single result.
Accordingly, the decision regarding the future of the Portuguese coach has been postponed, with the match against Wydad Casablanca in the second round serving as a new opportunity to evaluate the team's ability to overcome their rocky start.
Paulo Sergio's future remains closely tied to Wydad Casablanca's response in the upcoming match, given the early pressures imposed by the defeat against Wydad Temara and the fans' anticipation of what the team will deliver in their second appearance this season.
