The "Ultras Simbri Paloma" fan group has renewed its call for the resignation of the management of Moroccan football club Maghreb Tetouan, following the conclusion of the football season.
The group issued a statement asserting that the team's performance this season, which saw them finish at the top of the league, does not constitute an achievement but rather a "correction of course" after last season's shortcomings. While expressing gratitude to the players for their efforts, the fans placed responsibility on those who failed to fulfill their duties within the club's administration.
"Ultras Simbri Paloma" emphasized its unwavering demand for the collective resignation of the current management. They also called for the announcement of a date for the ordinary and electoral general assembly, along with opening nominations for new candidates. The group stated they would only recognize an official club statement announcing the complete resignation of the management and firmly rejected the return of any member from the current or previous administrations.
Furthermore, the fan group criticized entities they believe are interfering in the club's management. They stressed that these external parties should limit their role to providing financial support without influencing the selection of officials or determining the club's future direction. The statement concluded with a commitment to continue their pressure until their demands, the management's resignation, the announcement of the general assembly date, the opening of nominations, and the exclusion of past and present management members, are met.
