"The team needs a fresh face, a different energy, and a new perspective with a new coach. I think the team needs a new lease of life before the World Cup, a new vision to continue progressing. My decision to leave is part of this team's evolution."
"Your leadership, passion, and vision inspired not only the players, but also an entire nation and millions of fans around the world. Thank you for believing in Moroccan talent, for strengthening the team spirit, and for showing that with discipline, hard work, great things can be achieved."
Morocco has appointed Mohamed Ouahbi as their new head coach, replacing Walid Regragui after nearly four years in charge. Regragui guided Morocco to historic achievements, including reaching the 2022 World Cup semi-finals as the first African team to do so, and the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations final on home soil. Despite these accomplishments, Morocco decided to make a coaching change three months before the 2026 World Cup. Regragui stated the team needed fresh energy and a new perspective to continue progressing. Star player Achraf Hakimi praised Regragui's exceptional leadership, passion, and vision, crediting him with inspiring players and the nation.
