Moroccan football giants Raja Club Athletic have parted ways with head coach Sergio following a disappointing start to the 2026/2027 season, with the club struggling in the league and currently occupying a relegation-zone position.
The decision comes after a difficult spell for the Casablanca-based side, whose performances have fallen below expectations, leaving the club facing an early battle to revive its domestic campaign.
Raja, one of Morocco’s most successful and historically significant football clubs, have endured a frustrating run of results, raising concerns among supporters and the club’s hierarchy over the team’s direction.
Sergio’s departure is expected to trigger a fresh search for a new manager capable of stabilising the team, improving its performances and guiding the club away from the relegation zone.
The coaching change also places additional pressure on the players to respond positively as Raja seek to rediscover the consistency and competitive identity that have made them a major force in Moroccan and African football.
Known for their passionate supporters, rich history and continental pedigree, Raja Club Athletic will be desperate to turn their fortunes around before their difficult league position becomes even more concerning.
Attention will now shift to the club’s next appointment, with supporters hoping the new manager can restore confidence, strengthen the team’s performances and steer the former African champions towards a successful campaign.
For Raja, the immediate priority is clear: escape the relegation zone and get their season back on track.
