Walid Regragui
During Tuesday's press conference, Walid Regragui once again addressed the criticism and his own future.
Morocco's Atlas Lions head coach Walid Regragui faced the media on Tuesday. The tactician was questioned about rumors regarding his potential dismissal, especially in the wake of a 1-1 draw against Mali that followed a 2-0 group stage victory over Comoros at this CAN 2025.
"I have only lost four times in three and a half years, and I took my country to the semi-finals of the World Cup [2022] and the CAN [2025]. In reality, no one should be talking, but in Morocco, it's different, and you have to accept it. I hope the next coach does even better than I have," Regragui said, anticipating a possible dismissal.
Morocco later confirmed their form with a 3-0 win over Zambia, followed by a narrow 1-0 victory over Tanzania in the round of 16, and then a 2-0 triumph over Cameroon in the quarter-finals. Tomorrow, the Lions face Nigeria in the semi-final.
