Coach apologizes for leading Kawkab Marrakech

Reda Hekm has announced his withdrawal from his coaching position at Kawkab Marrakech, citing the negative atmosphere surrounding his return. Hekm, who was appointed to lead the team just days ago, stated that a campaign against his comeback on social media influenced his decision.

In a personal statement, Hekm explained that after careful consideration and consultation with his family, he chose to step down to protect the club's interests. He expressed a desire to work in a peaceful and positive environment, which he felt was not possible under the current circumstances. Hekm extended his gratitude to the club's president, Idris Hanifa, for his understanding.

“

My decision came after deep reflection and consultation with my family, in light of the campaign targeting me on social media and the rejection of my return to lead the team.

This development follows a period of instability in the club's technical staff. Hekm had previously led Kawkab Marrakech to promotion to the top division last season but was later dismissed. The club then saw changes in coaching, with Rashid Taoussi and Hicham Dmiaï taking charge before Hekm's reappointment.

Despite the club's management deciding to re-sign Hekm, his return was met with criticism from fans and observers who felt the club was recycling coaching options. This rapid turnaround, with Hekm apologizing before the new season even begins, highlights the challenges and fan sentiment surrounding the team.

I chose to withdraw out of concern for the club's interests and my desire to work in a calm and positive atmosphere.
