Walid Regragui, the Moroccan football coach who led the national team to a historic fourth-place finish at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has been approached by an Egyptian club that has qualified for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. The approach was reported by multiple sports media outlets on June 26, 2026, though the specific club has not been officially named.
Regragui, 50, has been without a club since leaving his role as Morocco's head coach in 2024. He has been linked to several coaching positions in Africa and the Middle East. The Egyptian club, which secured its spot in the Club World Cup through its continental performance, is reportedly seeking a high-profile coach to lead the team in the tournament.
Neither Regragui nor the Egyptian club have confirmed the talks. The FIFA Club World Cup is scheduled to take place in the United States in 2025, with the new expanded format featuring 32 teams. Egyptian clubs such as Al Ahly have historically participated in the tournament.
