Wydad Athletic Club have reportedly reached an agreement with Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi to take charge of the Moroccan side, with Portuguese manager Paulo Sergio Brito facing an uncertain future after the club’s disappointing start to the season.
According to information obtained by WinWin from its own sources, Wydad’s management has reached a final agreement with Nabi to lead the team in the coming period. The reported move would bring an end to Sergio’s time at the Casablanca club and begin a new chapter for the team.
Wydad’s early-season results have increased pressure on the current coaching staff, with the club’s performances falling short of expectations. The management is understood to be seeking a change that could help restore consistency and put the team back on course.
Nabi is viewed as a candidate with relevant experience in Moroccan and African football. His previous work in Morocco, including spells with the Royal Army and Raja Casablanca, is expected to be an advantage as he considers a possible return to the domestic league.
The club will be looking for its next coach to address problems that have emerged during the opening matches, particularly in tactical organisation and the team’s ability to convert opportunities into goals. Further dropped points could make it harder for Wydad to compete for the positions they are targeting this season.
Sergio’s position has come under growing scrutiny as the results have failed to convince supporters. Wydad’s management is now expected to determine how to handle the transition, although the club has yet to make an official announcement confirming a change in the technical leadership.
Nabi’s potential appointment has also attracted attention because of his previous departure from Moroccan football. He left Raja Casablanca before the start of the current league campaign after the club decided to part ways with him following a reported disagreement with Portuguese sporting director Rogerio Matias.
That departure came suddenly, with the disagreement contributing to the breakdown in his relationship with Raja. A move to Wydad would therefore mark a return to Moroccan football for the Tunisian coach, this time with one of Raja’s principal rivals.
Wydad supporters are awaiting further details, including when an official announcement could be made, when Nabi might begin work and which members of the coaching staff could join him.
If the reported agreement is confirmed, Nabi will face the immediate task of rebuilding confidence among the fans and improving results. He will also need to organise a team capable of dealing with the pressure associated with Wydad, where competing for titles remains a central expectation.
For now, the club’s next steps remain unclear as attention turns to the future of Sergio and the possibility of Nabi taking over. The reported agreement has put the Tunisian coach firmly in the picture, but confirmation of the appointment and arrangements for Sergio’s departure are still awaited.
