South African-born Wydad Casablanca head coach Rulani Mokwena faces two deadlines to save his job after a string of bad results.
Things started to go south for Mokwena after leaving the country to return home in South Africa on compassionate leave.
In his absence, Wydad won their fifth game in a row for the first time since 2019 after hammering Chabab Mohammedia 5-1.

However, they are yet to win since the 38-year-old returned from Mzansi, with the 1-1 draw against IR Tanger on Sunday their fourth consecutive stalemate.
Wydad, as a result, have dropped down to third in the standings, two points behind AS FAR Rabat.
What has put the coaching situation at The Red Castle on the spotlight and added more pressure on the coach is that rivals Berkane were crowned Botola champions over the weekend, with five matches to spare.
With fans up in arms and wanting coaching changes, Wydad will be holding meetings to decide the future of Mokwena during the FIFA break.
"My job is to win games, I'm not winning games at the moment and I have to take responsibility. Four draws in a row is not good for Wydad and that is very clear," Mokwena told the press after the latest result.
"So, we have a very important break, we have to discuss a lot of things and of course and I know one of the things we will discuss and you want to discuss as the media is the future of the coach.
"And that's okay, that's normal, but you have to understand I'm here for three years. My intention is to stay for as long as I possibly can, but to stay you need results and that's very important. The players understand that," Mokwena said.

Should the former Mamelodi Sundowns tactician emerge still as the head coach at Wydad after the FIFA break, he will face a potential make-or-break game, a derby against Raja Casablanca, where a loss could cost him his job.
"I will only focus on the derby after the FIFA break. For now, we have to see how we go forward," he responded when asked about the looming encounter.
