Toshack sacked by Wydad Casablanca

John Toshack's two-year stint as Wydad Casablanca head coach has come to an end after the Welshman was sacked following a heavy defeat in their CAF Champions League semi-final against Zamalek.

Egyptian side Zamalek ran out 4-0 winners in the first leg of the tie at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Friday, making it four games without a win for Wydad.

"Following a stinging defeat, WAC Sports Club apologise outright to the fans," an official Wydad statement read.

"Despite being given many opportunities to rectify the situation, it became clear that the first-team complains of fundamental imbalances under the technical responsibility of the coach and his assistants.

"To that effect, WAC Sports Club decided to terminate coach John Toshack's contract."
