Walid Regragui officially leaves the bench of the Atlas Lions tonight

Speculation surrounding the future of the national team is coming to an end. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation is about to officially announce the departure of Walid Regragui during the meeting scheduled at the Mohammed VI Complex, thus marking the end of a historic cycle started in Qatar.

This choice comes after a thorough evaluation of the recent record, marked in particular by the failure in the last Africa Cup of Nations. Despite the credit accumulated by the architect of the 2022 World Cup semi-final, the need to inject new blood prevailed during the marathon meetings between President Fouzi Lekjaa and the technician.

To succeed Regragui, the Federation is betting on Mohamed Ouahbi. The former U20 coach is expected to take over the reins of the first team. His knowledge of young talents and his recent results speak in his favor to immediately embark on a reconstruction in view of the next deadlines.

The press conference tonight should define the new roadmap for national football. Beyond the change of captain, the Moroccan public is awaiting clear guarantees on the solidity of the sports project, with the main objective of stabilizing the team before the 2026 World Cup.
