Morocco’s Ziyech Slams Dutch Coach Koeman Over ’Crazy’ Payment Allegations

In an interview with a Dutch channel, the coach of the Oranges had accused the FRMF of "paying money to holders of Moroccan-Dutch dual nationality, in order to represent the Atlas Lions in the various championships".

Hakim Ziyech described the Dutch coach’s allegations as "madness". He declares: "Lately, we have been witnessing a lot of crazy rumors. And your statements are a form of it that I have no knowledge of."

Koeman’s statements coincide with the Moroccan federation’s attempts to persuade PSV Eindhoven star Mohamed Iharaten, of Moroccan origin, to wear the national colors.
