The job of Raja Club Athletic's head coach will reportedly be on the line when he faces off against Rulani Mokwena in the upcoming Casablanca derby.

While Wydad Athletic Club's Mokwena has endured an erratic start to life as boss of the Red Castle, his tenure can perhaps be considered better than that of Ricardo Sa Pinto at Raja.
The Portuguese tactician took over from Abdelkrim Jinani, who oversaw three straight wins in the league as interim manager, but has struggled to pick up from where the Moroccan left off.
In the five Botola Pro matches the Porto native has taken charge of the Green Eagles, the reigning champions have not won any, losing one and drawing four, scoring only one goal across all those encounters.
This has led to mounting pressure from the club's supporters, and more recently from Raja's hierarchy.
According to Le 360 Sport, the former striker is reportedly in his home country to sort out official documentation, but it is understood that, once he returns to Casablanca, he will hold an important meeting with the club's board of directors in an effort to break down the run of poor results and try to find a solution.
However, according to Kooora, the North African giants' patience with the 52-year-old is wearing thin and they will not tolerate any more negative results from him.

Up next for Raja is a contest against fierce rivals Wydad. While both clubs' head coaches are under pressure to find consistency, it is Sa Pinto who is seemingly being subjected to more scrutiny.
The same report claims that the outcome of the match against the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss will have a massive bearing on whether he continues to lead the three-time African champions.
