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 team as one of the African powerhouses in recent years, even after reaching the final of the African Cup, where they fell to Senegal.
Amid rumors about his departure, it also emerged that Jorge Sampaoli had reached a preliminary agreement to take on the role, although the negotiation ultimately did not materialize.

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