Wydad Casablanca coach Rulani Mokwena recently announced that he would be taking a break from social media to embark on a digital detox.

In a message to his followers, he explained that he wanted to temporarily step away from the digital world to refocus on himself and finalize his current projects.

This decision, motivated by a personal need for mental clarity and emotional well-being, was not unanimously welcomed by all fans. Some expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with this withdrawal, believing that the coach should continue to maintain an online presence to engage with fans.

In his statement, Mokwena emphasized the importance of this step for him, stating that it will allow him to return with renewed energy and fully dedicate himself to the sporting challenges ahead.

Despite the criticism, he remains firm in his decision, believing that this period of disconnection is necessary to maintain his personal and professional balance.

The Wydad coach thus finds himself at the center of a debate between the need for personal renewal and the expectations of fans who want to closely follow his social media activities.

Only time will tell if this break will help strengthen his ability to lead his team to new successes.
