Since ages, football is the leading sports on our planet. Beside the fact that it is now universal, it is perhaps one of the most commonly shared things in the world, those things that unify the people and not that alienate them. A common passion, a common language from Peru to Iceland, from China to Fiji islands. This was the language that Karim Bencherifa had chosen to speak in his way, or rather to teach it, in a coaching career that took him around the world.

But first of all, it was necessary to have a solid foundation from player to coach. He started in Morocco, at amateur clubs, then at the highest level within the Moroccan Royal Football Federation. He never ceased to learn new information to enhance his knowledge by undergoing the most well known FIFA and UEFA training courses in Germany, France, Romania and Malta. Undoubtedly the base that will be the essence of his ongoing career.

Karim Bencherifa had always the wish to widen his working experience. Football is universal isn’t? Malta, United States , Brunei, Singapore, Middle East, India will be welcoming this globe trotting coach. I would like to draw your attention that there is nothing exotique in these choices. The football coach is a job with huge pressure, he must succeed, be it in his country or in a new country, he should stand out in a new culture, a new language, with players of unknown background... plenty of challenges to overcome!

The impact of the work accomplished will (be evaluated) measure up at the end of each season, when Karim Bencherifa regularly ends up amongst the best coaches of the championship, thanks to the outcome of his result. He knows to adjust to each club, make himself loved/adored by his players and his supporters, obtain the desired results and make his team progress.

A performance that is marked by a complete/deep involvement, a rapid analysis of circumstances, a solid work foundation and a profound love/passion for the game. The results and the titles have followed invariably. Unanimously appreciated everywhere he has been/traveled, Karim Bencherifa can pride himself of a clear image without a stain.

His deep knowledge of all that is concerned with football, the management of the team, the obtaining of positive results no matter what the circumstances are makes him a competent coach and esteemed person.
