Today Thursday, the Moroccan Football Association officially parted ways with Atlas Lions coach Wahid Halilhodzic on the pretext that they have different views on how the team is preparing for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
According to the Moroccan press, former Moroccan international Walid Rekraki is the most prominent candidate for the post of manager of the Moroccan national team, replacing Halilhodzic.
Regragui is not currently under contract with any team as he decided to step down as manager of Wydad Sports Club at the end of July last year after leading them to win the Moroccan league and the African Champions League double.
The Moroccan media at the time viewed Regraki’s decision to leave Wydad, who held on to him, as an indication that he would soon take over the training of the Atlas Lions to replace Halilozic, whose fate was ambiguous before he was fired. Today.
The Moroccan Football Association, led by Faouzi Lekjaa, is expected to announce a new Atlas Lions coach soon.
Regraki’s first task, if he takes over as manager of Morocco, will be to lead the Atlas Lions to the World Cup final in Qatar later this year.
It should be noted that according to the results of the World Cup draw in Qatar, the Moroccan team fell into Group D along with Croatia, which took second place at the 2018 World Cup, and Belgium, owners of bronze, and Canada.
