Rui Almeida reveals details of his experience with MAS Fes between achieving goals and management pressures

Portuguese coach Rui Almeida, the former manager of MAS Fes, expressed his deep regret over how his experience with "the Mouloudia" ended, pointing out that the decision to dismiss him from his position was disappointing considering the results and objectives achieved.

Almeida explained in statements to "Al Arabiya" that evaluating the sports experience requires looking at the complete picture, saying: "When we talk about a sports project, the evaluation must include the set goals, the general framework, and the extent of the team's development and the quality of the work presented within the group."

The Portuguese coach confirmed that he was able to complete his mission by touching on the club's main goal, adding: "The priority required was to secure a spot in the CAF Champions League, which we have indeed succeeded in achieving after building a strong and competitive team. But these are the rules of football, and we must always accept them and move forward."

Regarding the fluctuations of the coaching profession and the pressure exerted within clubs, Almeida added: "The decision was painful, but it is not an exception limited to MAS Fes; I have witnessed similar cases of my colleagues in France and other countries. Often, internal and external pressures make it difficult to predict the decisions made."

The former coach of MAS Fes concluded his remarks by saying: "We perform our professional duty with the highest levels of commitment, we put the numbers and standards before us, and we work hard to achieve the aspirations, then we leave the decision to the board of directors. I am not happy with the end, but life and the ongoing journey do not stop here."
