Davids Back at Raja: A Winning Return
This marks Davids' second stint with the Moroccan side, and it's safe to say it's begun just as he'd hoped. Not only did Raja secure a win, but they also managed to keep a clean sheet under the new South African regime. Davids, who previously served as assistant coach, is now at the helm, eager to bring more silverware to the club.
Ambitions High: League and Throne Cup in Sight
Davids has expressed his ambition to win both the Botola Pro Inwi (the league) and the Throne Cup. He emphasised that his immediate focus is on their next game, but his sights are firmly set on lifting trophies. "Of course with a big club like Raja, and now you have an ambitious coach, you want to go for every trophy that is available," Davids stated.
During his previous spell as assistant coach, Davids played a key role in Raja's historic unbeaten season, securing a domestic double. He's now back to lead the charge and add to the club's impressive legacy as three-time African champions.
The former Orlando Pirates coach is clearly focused on the task at hand and determined to make his mark at Raja Club Athletic. All eyes will be on them as they chase glory in both the league and the Throne Cup.
