The now former coach of the "Atlas Lions" admitted, in an interview with a major African magazine, that his departure from the Moroccan team dated back well before the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) in Egypt, which recently saw the triumph of the "Fennecs" of Algeria. However, according to the Frenchman, the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) had opposed it.
During a meeting in Skhirat, Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), confirmed that he had indeed received, on Sunday, July 21, the resignation of Hervé Renard, now the former coach of the national team.
The President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Faouzi Lekjaâ, has been appointed 2nd Vice-President of the African body. This decision was made at the end of the General Assembly of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The premature elimination of the "Atlas Lions" from the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt has triggered a wave of layoffs within the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). President Fouzi Lekjaâ has decided to dispense with the services of several officials within the institution.
Fouzi Lekjaâ, boss of Renaissance sportive de Berkane (RSB) and President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), has just been suspended for a period of one year by the Disciplinary Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This decision follows his altercation with the Ethiopian referee, Bamelak Tessama, during the final of the African Confederation Cup.
Since the premature exit of the Atlas Lions from the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) in Egypt, following the lost match against Benin in the round of 16, Hakim Ziyech has remained very silent, refraining from giving his opinion on the defeat, let alone on his poor performance. But he contradicted the Moroccan Minister of Sports.
It’s just a matter of hours, apparently. The coach of the Moroccan national football team, Hervé Renard, must submit his resignation, following his disastrous failure at the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN).
A huge typo crept into the clip of the official anthem of the competition, entitled "All together", presented on Wednesday, June 19 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The flag of the so-called "Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic" was inserted into the clip, by mistake.
Faouzi Lekjaâ, head of... Pardon! President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation would be in the good graces of many Moroccan football fans who would see him as an excellent Prime Minister. Potential voters?
Faouzi Lekjaa said he was dismayed by the rumors announcing a possible departure of the national coach, Hervé Renard. In a statement to Radio Mars, the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) believes that this information does not serve the national team, and disrupts the atmosphere prevailing within the Atlas Lions.
A mea culpa from national coach Hervé Renard, who has returned to the tense episode with player Hakim Ziyech and has especially recognized that he was mainly responsible. The fault, he said, was a lack of communication.
