Saturday 24-01-2026
Amin Benhachem, the coach of Wydad Athletic Club, provided detailed explanations regarding the club management's decision to allow South African player Thembinkosi Lorch to leave the team and transfer to Al-Ittihad Club of Libya. He confirmed that the step was taken after careful consideration that takes into account the interests of both the club and the player.

During the press conference preceding the match against Maniema of Congo, Benhachem explained that Lorche's desire to embark on a new experience was a key factor in the decision-making process, noting that the continuation of any player without a genuine desire to contribute deprives the team of fully benefiting from their potential.

The Wydad coach confirmed that the management would not have agreed to the player's departure without having a suitable replacement available, explaining that having technical options capable of compensating for him was a decisive condition before finalizing the deal.

Benhachem added that signing the player Moses directly contributed to providing the necessary technical balance and gave the coaching staff the confidence needed to approve Laroche's departure.

The coach of the red team concluded his statements by confirming that the South African player will remain with Wydad for the home and away matches against Maniema of Congo, before officially joining his new team. He wished him success in his next endeavor.
