Morocco Football: FRMF Denies Walid Regragui Exit Again

Against all expectations, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) published an official denial on Tuesday evening. The governing body categorically rejected rumors of a split with the national team coach, even though his departure had seemed “99.99% certain” just a few hours earlier.

In a statement published on its website, the Federation sought to issue a “brief” but firm clarification:

On Bladi.net : The FRMF confirms Walid Regragui and unveils the March program

“The Royal Moroccan Football Federation denies reports concerning its separation from coach Mr. Hoalid Regragui.”

A tense communication

On Bladi.net : Resignation of Walid Regragui? The response of the FRMF

This is the second time in less than two weeks that the FRMF has been forced to step forward to protect its coach. This climate of uncertainty raises several questions:

• Stability or a façade? If the Federation is officially maintaining its confidence, the growing number of rumors—particularly the reported Xavi option—suggests turmoil behind the scenes.

• Focus on 2026: For now, Walid Regragui remains the man for the job to lead the Atlas Lions to the 2026 World Cup in Group C.

• Will the “third time” be the charm? There is a touch of irony here. The repetition of these denials sometimes seems like a reprieve before a definitive announcement.
