Former AC Milan Star Marco Simone Takes Helm at Moroccan Club Chabab Mohammedia

Rachidi Rouk, previously the coach of the "Chabab Mohammedia", has become the designated assistant overnight. He is replaced by the Italian Marco Simone, the star of the 1997 transfer window at PSG and a three-time Italian champion. The former coach of the Thai club "Ratchaburi FC" will have, as his main task, to propel the "Mohammedia" team into the first division championship (Botola 1), after winning the national amateur championship this year.

Before his appointment as coach of the "Chabab Mohammedia", Marco Simone was previously, for a few months, the coach of "Ratchaburi FC" (Thailand). His coaching career began in 2011 with "AS Monaco" then "Stade lavallois" (France), and continued with "FC Lausanne-Sport" (Switzerland) and "Club africain" (Tunisia).

However, this player who shone throughout his international career is a modest coach, with a trophy-less resume. This new challenge will not be an easy one for him.
