Observers say there are strong motives that could speed up Walid Regragui’s departure from the Morocco national team, after the Atlas Lions missed out on the AFCON title.
According to the same voices, the coach’s position has come under heavier pressure since the tournament ended without the trophy, with criticism growing over both the team’s performances and some of the choices made during the competition.
They add that the disappointment was not limited to the result alone, but also to the way Morocco approached key moments, which has fuelled calls for change and raised questions about the next phase.
In the same context, the observers point to the existence of strong reasons inside and outside the sporting side that could accelerate the decision, especially with expectations that the national team should compete for every title and keep the level shown at the 2022 World Cup.
For now, no official statement has been issued to confirm Regragui’s departure, but the debate around his future has clearly intensified following the AFCON setback.
