“Hesport” learned from an informed source that Bernacchi officially resigned from his duties as president of the “Red” team.

For his part, Abdel Sadiq Murshid, General Secretary of Wydad Athletic Club, refuted the recent news that indicated that he assumed the task of heading the “Red” team, after former President Abdelmadjid Bernaki resigned from his position.

Morched said in a statement to Hesport: “I categorically deny taking on the presidency of Wydad after Bernaki’s resignation. I did not tell anyone about the matter, and the law does not automatically grant me that.”

He added: “I am the general secretary of the Wydad team, and the law grants the task of interim presidency to the first vice president after the resignation of the president.”

He continued: “We will hold a meeting in the next few hours with the members of the Executive Office, to manage the post-Bernaki resignation phase before the next general assembly.”

The Wydad Athletic Club management had previously received five nominations for the club’s presidency, namely: Hicham Ait Mena, Anas Kourami, Nasik Karam, Athil Touzor and Saadallah Yassin.

Bernaki had signed a contract with Mauritanian Mohsen Badda, and terminated the contracts of foreign professionals Elias Al-Shetty, Zakaria Al-Darawi and Hamdo Al-Huni.

The Wydad Athletic Administration has invited those involved to attend the general meeting scheduled for July 3, 2024, which includes in its agenda the approval of the list of new participants, and the submission and discussion of the literary and financial reports for the season (2023-2024), while accepting the resignation of the president and the administrative office and having it approved by General assembly, then election of the president and the new office.
