With Wydad Athletic Club suffering a poor run of results, the amount it would cost the side to sack manager Rulani Mokwena has reportedly been revealed.
The Moroccan giants have suffered two consecutive defeats, losing 2-0 to COD Meknes last week before RS Berkane beat the Red Castle by a goal to nil on Saturday.

The encounter over the weekend saw fans express their frustrations, directing insults at the players and staff, as well as chucking water bottles in their direction, as they left the field.
As a result, the Wydad stars and coaches were forced to take cover before being escorted down the tunnel by security.
The three-time CAF Champions League winners currently find themselves in eighth position on the table with 11 points after eight matches – three of which have ended in defeat.
With pressure seemingly mounting on Mokwena following his side's run of two consecutive defeats, leading to whispers that he could be relieved of his duties, it would cost the side an estimated $1 million (around R17 million) to do that, according to Kooora, who sited a source within the Moroccan giants' camp.
However, it is further claimed that the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss' job is still safe for now, although this could change if the current pattern of results persists.
"Confidence in Mokwena's abilities still exists, but with the warning that it may not last long," the source was quoted as saying.
"Mokwena no longer has the same status he had when he was first signed, and he is gradually losing the trust of the club president and the fans, as evidenced by the projectiles being thrown at him and some people demanding his departure.
"Mokwena's departure is out of the question at the moment, and the coach may continue after the derby match, which will be important in deciding his fate.
"A unilateral separation from Mokwena will cost Wydad's treasury about one million dollars."
