Four weeks before facing Manchester City in its opening Club World Cup game in Philadelphia, Wydad coach Rhulani Mokwena has left the Moroccan team.
Wydad said the club and Mokwena “mutually agreed to terminate their contract with immediate effect” in a statement published late Monday.
Wydad did not announce plans to replace the South African coach ahead of traveling to the United States for the revamped 32-team FIFA club tournament that opens June 14.
After facing City on June 18, Wydad stays in Philadelphia to play Juventus, then goes to Washington DC to play Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates.
