The Brief
- Raja's board is weighing a contract termination for coach Paco Jémez.
- Three consecutive draws have worsened the club's league position.
- Jémez's future is in doubt ahead of crucial fixtures against Al-Ahly.
Raja's board is considering ending Paco Jémez's contract after a recent draw against Hassania Agadir. The decision follows a slump in results and growing frustration among supporters.
The club has drawn three matches in a row, including against Maghreb de Fès, FUS Rabat, and Hassania Agadir, resulting in a league position of 11th with six points.
Raja's management is looking for a new coach who can improve results and restore the team's competitiveness. A meeting between the board and Jémez is expected in the coming period to discuss the terms of the split and end the relationship by mutual consent.

Raja's management have yet to officially confirm the details of the split from Paco Jémez or name his successor. They aim to address fan frustration and prepare for upcoming domestic and continental matches.
