The German tactician is enjoying a successful debut full season in charge of the Green Eagles. The Schwandorf native's side is currently undefeated in all domestic competition, and is vying to win both the Botola Pro League as well as the Throne Cup.
The ex-Buccaneers tactician has turned the north African giants' fortunes around after they finished 2022/23 in fifth place, ending that campaign without a trophy and missing out on continental football this season.

According to Assabah, while there may be offers in the likes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar for him, the 54-year-old has promised Raja president Mohamed Boudrika and the rest of the club's chiefs that he has no plans to leave at the end of the season as he wants to achieve great results in next season's CAF Champions League.
