The management of the South African club Marumo Gallants, founded in 2021, officially announced this Saturday, March 8, the appointment of Moroccan coach Abdeslam Ouaddou as the head of the team for the upcoming period.

The former defender of the Moroccan national team in the early 2000s announced the news via a post on his official Facebook page, where he wrote:

“After a wonderful stay in the Democratic Republic of Congo with VITA CLUB, one of Africa's biggest clubs, I am pleased to announce that I have joined the Marumo Gallants Football Club in the PSL (South Africa) as the head coach for a new chapter.”

Adding:

"I would like to thank the management and the supporters for their trust."

Ouaddou had led the Congolese club Vita Club in recent months, winning the Democratic Republic of Congo Cup with them for the tenth time in their history. However, he tendered his resignation after his team's away defeat against the South African club Stellenbosch FC (0-2) in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
