Mohamed Ouahbi's Continuation as Morocco's National Team Coach
In a significant decision, the Moroccan Football Federation has reaffirmed its trust in Mohamed Ouahbi, retaining him as the head coach of the national team. This announcement comes just a week after Morocco's exit from the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, where they faced a tough defeat against France with a score of 0-2. The executive committee of the federation emphasized their confidence in Ouahbi's abilities, stating that they have decided to support him in his role moving forward.
Ouahbi took over the position of head coach only three months prior to the World Cup, succeeding Walid Regragui, who had made history by leading the Moroccan team to the semi-finals in the 2022 tournament, marking a significant milestone as the first African nation to reach that stage. While the federation did not disclose specific details about the duration of Ouahbi's contract, he indicated in a past interview with beIN Sports that his agreement extends until the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will co-host alongside Spain and Portugal.
This decision to keep Ouahbi at the helm reflects the federation's vision for the future of Moroccan football, aiming to build on the achievements of the past while navigating through the challenges that lie ahead. As the team looks toward upcoming international competitions, fans and stakeholders will be keenly observing how Ouahbi's leadership unfolds in the coming years.
