João Sacramento, who joined the Moroccan national team in March 2026 as an assistant coach for the World Cup, has a contract clause that allows him to leave immediately if he receives an offer to become a head coach, according to reports from French media.
Sacramento, previously an assistant at Tottenham Hotspur and AS Monaco, was brought in to support head coach Walid Regragui ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His contract reportedly includes a release clause that permits him to accept a top job without penalty.
The 35-year-old Portuguese coach has expressed ambitions to lead a team as a number one, and sources indicate he has already communicated this to Moroccan football officials. No formal offers have been made public as of July 28, 2026.
Morocco's football federation has not commented on the reports. The team is preparing for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in June and July 2026.
