Wydad Athletic Club have suffered a last-16 exit in the Moroccan Throne Cup after a 1-0 loss to Moghreb Atlético Tetuán at the Saniat Rmel Stadium on Saturday evening.
Rulani Mokwena has come under immense pressure in recent weeks after four successive draws in the Botola Pro took them out of the top two in the league for CAF Champions League qualification.
Having beat FUS Rabat in the last-16 of the domestic cup, it offered silverware to challenge for in his debut season that has thus far not gone according to plan.
While the squad overhaul, led to expectations an inconsistent season, the dropped points to the lesser teams in the league has not gone down kindly with the Wydad fan base.
Now the cup exit to Tetuán, who had won only two games in their last 17 in all competitions, will undoubtedly raise pressure even higher at the trigger happy club who have had 15 coaches changes in the last five years.
