The Libyan Football Federation is in advanced negotiations with Moroccan coach Houcine Ammouta to appoint him as the new head coach of the national team. The discussions are reportedly in their final stages, with an official announcement expected soon.
Ammouta has been a free agent since his contract with Emirati club Al Jazira was terminated in August 2025. His tenure at the club lasted less than a full season, concluding after a disappointing start to the 2025-2026 campaign.
If appointed, Ammouta would face the significant challenge of leading Libya's national team, which has struggled in recent international competitions. The role would mark his first foray into managing a national side at the senior level.
The Libyan Football Federation has not yet confirmed the appointment, but multiple regional sports outlets indicate a deal is imminent. The federation is seeking stability and improved performance ahead of upcoming qualifying tournaments.
