A painful memory continues to follow Walid Regragui with the Morocco national team, as the coach remains linked to a moment that still stings in Moroccan football.
Regragui, who took charge of Morocco with high expectations and major ambitions, has achieved important results with the national side. But the past has not fully let go, and one particular chapter remains a reminder of how quickly things can turn at the top level.
The bad memory relates to a match that left a heavy mark, both on the coach and on the supporters, after the team failed to deliver the outcome that was hoped for at the time.
That setback continues to be mentioned whenever Morocco return to similar circumstances, with comparisons often made to the same situation that previously ended in disappointment.
While Regragui has since worked to build a stronger and more balanced team, the episode stays part of the conversation around his spell in charge, especially as Morocco aim to confirm their progress and avoid repeating past mistakes.
