Mamelodi Sundowns star Abdelmounaim Boutouil has dumped the Premier Soccer League giants to link up with former coach Rulani Mokwena at Wydad Athletic Club.

The Moroccan defender joined the Brazilians in 2022 from SC Chabab Mohammedia and was an important member of Mokwena's Sundowns team, which dominated the South African league for two seasons.

The Atlas Lions star scored once in 31 appearances for the Masandawana but has decided to return home to continue his club football.
