Morocco's national football team has undergone a coaching change ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Walid Regragui was dismissed in March 2026, and Mohamed Ouahbi was appointed as his replacement.
Ouahbi brings 17 years of experience from the Anderlecht academy in Belgium. His appointment marks a new era for the Moroccan team, which reached the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup under Regragui.
The change was unexpected, similar to the coaching shift before the 2022 tournament. The Moroccan football federation has not publicly detailed the reasons for Regragui's dismissal.
