Mohammed Talal, the official spokesperson for Wydad Athletic Club and a member of the management board, officially announced his resignation from his position, in a surprising move that adds to the state of controversy and division within the red club.

Talal posted a brief statement on his Facebook account saying: "I submit my resignation from the management board of Wydad Athletic Club.. Always Wydad."

Although he did not explicitly reveal the reasons for the decision, its timing following the disappointing participation in the 2025 Club World Cup highlighted the tense atmosphere within the club, especially amidst sharp administrative disputes.

Reports indicated that Talal's resignation came due to health and personal circumstances, but there are internal conflicts and divisions between two factions within the management board that played a significant role in this decision, one faction calling for the departure of president Hicham Ait Mana and another faction insisting on giving him a chance to rectify the situation.

Mohammed Talal is considered one of the prominent figures in Wydad's management over the past years, and he was one of the key officials who earned the trust of former president Said Nasri, who led the team to several local and continental titles.

With these developments, Wydad fans are anticipating a season full of challenges, as the team will participate in the Moroccan league and the Throne Cup locally, in addition to the African Confederation Cup after finishing third in the professional league standings last season.
