The End of an Era: Walid Regragui Terminates His Contract 100 Days Before the World Cup

Rumored for several weeks, the end of the collaboration between Walid Regragui and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is now a reality. The coach signed the termination agreement a few days ago, as reported by L’Equipe, putting an end to his tenure after a decision made quickly in the wake of the last Africa Cup of Nations.

Although the prospect of participating in the 2026 World Cup, scheduled from June 11 to July 19, seemed to be a major objective, the coach has chosen not to continue the adventure. Negotiations with the federation have led to a compromise to close this chapter rich in emotions.

To succeed the 2022 World Cup semi-finalist, the governing bodies are betting on an internal solution. Mohamed Ouahbi, currently in charge of the under-20 national team, is expected to take over the reins of the national team and ensure the transition to the next international events.

The new technical staff should rely on experienced profiles to take on this major challenge. João Sacramento and former Atlas Lion Youssouf Hadji are announced as assistants to support Ouahbi in managing the locker room and tactical preparation.
