In a decisive move reflecting a commitment to continuity, the Moroccan Football Federation has reaffirmed its support for head coach Mohamed Ouahbi, despite the national team's recent elimination from the World Cup quarter-finals. The announcement was made by federation official Abdessalam Belegchour through a statement on the social media platform X. Morocco's national team faced a setback in the quarter-finals, falling to France with a score of 0-2, a result that prompted some critical feedback regarding Ouahbi's leadership.
Belegchour emphasized that during the executive committee meeting, there was a strong reaffirmation of confidence in Coach Ouahbi, ensuring that he will continue his role in the upcoming matches. At 49 years old, Ouahbi took over the coaching position from Walid Regragui earlier in March. His tenure has already seen success, notably leading the U20 team to clinch the World Cup title last year.
During the recent tournament held across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Ouahbi guided the "Atlas Lions" to a commendable second place in their group, behind Brazil. The team achieved notable victories in the knockout stages, defeating the Netherlands in the Round of 16 and Canada in the quarter-finals. Remarkably, Morocco made history in 2022 by becoming the first African nation to reach the World Cup semi-finals, marking a significant milestone in the continent's football history.
