Moroccan
third division side Chabab Mohammedia has appointed Brazilian great
Rivaldo as their technical director.
The
1980 Moroccan champions are seeking a return to the top-flight league,
prompting them to secure the services of high profile Rivaldo.
Having
assumed top spot in the third division with the season on the halfway mark,
Chabab Mohammedia are on course for promotion into the second division, before
they launch another fight into the elite Moroccan Botola Pro.
It is however,
the arrival of former Barcelona and AC Milan forward Rivaldo that has
thrust Chabab Mohammedia into the spotlight as an ambitious side.
Rivaldo
will be working in Africa for the second time in his football career, having
before played in Angola for Kabuscorp in 2012. One of the oldest clubs in
Morocco, Chabab Mohammedia announced Rivaldo’s capture on their official
Facebook page.
Rivaldo’s
salary at the Moroccan club owned by local businessman Hicham Ait Menna,
who has interests in real estate, however, remains a closely guarded secret.
