Wydad Casablanca in new financial crisis after Patrice Carteron demands settlement of dues

The debate over the previous contractual relationship between French coach Patrice Carteron and Wydad Casablanca has resurfaced after the French technician submitted an official request to the management of "the red castle" demanding the settlement of his outstanding financial dues, which date back to his time overseeing the technical bench of the team during the last sporting season.

The data related to this file indicates that Carteron is demanding an amount of $100,000, which represents the previously agreed financial value as compensation for the termination of the contractual relationship between the two parties by mutual consent.

The French coach had previously reached an amicable settlement with the previous management of Wydad Casablanca, which stipulated that he would receive a salary for two months along with some other dues, in exchange for his commitment to close the case and not resort to the disputes committee of FIFA, with an agreement to disburse this amount immediately after the conclusion of last season's competitions.

This file creates additional financial pressure on the current management of the club, which finds itself required to manage the necessary financial liquidity to close this chapter, especially in light of the severe crisis caused by the case of the Bolivian player Moisés Paniagua, which has cost the team a transfer ban imposed by FIFA until the payment of $300,000 to Club Always Ready.

Patrice Carteron's tenure as head coach of Wydad Casablanca was short-lived, leading the team in only five official matches before the management decided to part ways with him and entrusted the role to national coach Mohamed Benchrifa, who finished the season with the team in fifth place.
