Shock in Morocco: Regragui sacked 98 days before the World Cup | OneFootball

The Morocco national team was left without a coach 98 days before the start of the World Cup. The federation decided to end the cycle of Walid Regragui, the coach who led the team to a historic fourth place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Moroccan coach had established the national team as one of Africa’s powerhouses in recent years, even after reaching the final of the African Cup, where they lost to Senegal.

Amid rumors about his departure, it also emerged that Jorge Sampaoli had reached a preliminary agreement to take the job, although the negotiations ultimately did not materialize.

According to Moroccan media, the main candidate to take the position would be Mohamed Ouahbi, current coach of the U-20 national team, who could take charge of the team that will share a group with Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti in the upcoming World Cup.
