Zinnbauer Set For Shock Return To Africa?

According to 365Scores, Al Wehda is seriously considering firing the German tactician following their poor start to the season.

Since taking over the Knights of Mecca in August, Zinnbauer has managed to secure just one victory in league action, with the team conceding as many as 14 goals in their opening five matches of the competition.

This form sees Al Wehda in 16th position and the relegation zone, with the chiefs at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium now seriously considering what to do with the Schwandorf native.

A club that is understood to be monitoring the 54-year-old's situation, however, are Moroccan giants Raja Club Athletic.

The ex-Hamburg boss led the Green Eagles to a historic invincible season last campaign as they won the league and the Moroccan Throne Cup, but he decided to leave Casablanca during the off-season to try challenge himself in the oil-rich kingdom.

They replaced their legendary manager with Bosnian tactician Rusmir Cviko, but after he also had a poor start to the season, Raja decided to fire him and they are now exploring who will be his successor.
