The Moroccan national football team is poised for a significant technical restructuring as it prepares for the era following Walid Regragui, according to insights shared by Foot Mercato. Following a challenging Africa Cup of Nations campaign that culminated in a heart-wrenching defeat to Senegal amidst intense public scrutiny, the former coach has officially announced his resignation. Reports indicate that his departure has received the green light from the federation's leadership, with administrative processes nearing completion after he signed the necessary documents within Morocco.
One of the most talked-about candidates to succeed Regragui is Mohamed Ouahbi. The 49-year-old coach has garnered praise for his commendable work with the U20 team and is believed to enjoy substantial internal support within the Federation. The overarching goal appears to be the establishment of a robust and experienced coaching framework that will assist the future head coach, particularly in light of the upcoming World Cup.
Additionally, João Sacramento has emerged as a potential addition to the technical staff. At just 37 years old, the Portuguese coach possesses remarkable experience at the highest levels of football, having served as an assistant to notable figures such as Christophe Galtier at Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC Lille, as well as José Mourinho at AS Roma and Tottenham Hotspur. Preliminary discussions have reportedly taken place between Sacramento and federation officials, suggesting that he could bring significant value to the organization of the future coaching staff for the Lions of the Atlas.
The Federation seems determined to strike a balance between local continuity and international expertise as they approach the next competitive cycle with ambition and strategic foresight.
