Stambouli's departure could affect Raja's African fortunes
|
Henri Stambouli has resigned as coach of Morocco's Raja Casablanca.
The French-born coach will take up a lucrative offer to manage Al Shareqa in the United Arab Emirates.
Stambouli,the former Olympique Marseille goalkeeper had been in charge at Raja for six months during which he engineered a late run at
the league title.
But the team ceded the championship in a
dramatic home defeat on the final day of the season last month.
Raja was the latest in a series of brief job stints for Stambouli, who spent three months in charge at Club Africain of Tunisia last year.
He also had a four-month spell as national
coach of Mali, from October 2003 to February 2004.
