The coach of the Moroccan national team, Walid Regragui, announced his resignation from coaching the Atlas Lions, which caused a great shock in Moroccan and Arab sports circles.
Regragui’s resignation puts an end to a period full of achievements that began before the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he led the Moroccan national team to an unprecedented achievement of reaching fourth place in the world. Informed sources stated that this decision came after careful study of the recent period, and the coach’s desire to give the team a new leadership opportunity in the upcoming tournaments, most notably the African Cup of Nations and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
On the other hand, the Moroccan Football Federation is preparing to hold an urgent meeting to discuss the effects of this resignation and to search for a new coach, whether local or foreign, who will be able to maintain the achievements achieved during the “Ragragui” period. The Moroccan fans expressed on social media their deep thanks to the coach who restored the glories of Moroccan football and raised expectations at the continental and international levels.
