In an attempt to return to their former glory, the record Moroccan champions are now on the hunt for a new head coach.

According to WinWin, Nabil Maaloul was in discussions with Wydad over the head coach role after being out of football management for the entirety of last season.
The Tunisian has won the Ligue Professionnelle 1 on three occasions with Esperance de Tunis and also won the CAF Champions League during the 2010/11 season.
It looked as though he would be the one to succeed Aziz Ben Askar at the Stade Mohammed V, but following the news of Mokwena's departure from Sundowns, the north African outfit have now seemingly turned their attention to him.

The same report claims that the former Orlando Pirates boss and Wydad are still in discussions, but if negotiations do collapse, it remains to be seen if they will reignite talks with Maaloul.
