Portuguese Ricardo Sabinto became the new coach of Raja Sports Club, after the club management reached an agreement with him to lead the team, succeeding Bosnian Rosimir Zveko, who was fired due to a series of results negative.
Sabinto selected to lead Eagles
The Raja Athletic Club received dozens of requests from Moroccan and foreign coaches wanting to coach the team, but the club management decided to contract with Sabinto to be the new coach. This step comes after Sabinto’s storied career as coach of several clubs on different continents, although his stay with the teams was relatively short.
Successful interim management
Following Zviko’s dismissal, Abdelkarim El-Jenani, assistant coach, and Hisham Abou Sherwan, sports director, temporarily took charge of the team. They managed to achieve excellent results, leading the team to achieve three consecutive victories.
