After Morocco’s victory over Chile in Barcelona, the captain of the Atlas Lions opened up about the national team’s performance, his aspirations for the World Cup, not forgetting Vahid Halilhodzic who qualified the country for the World Cup.
The Atlas Lions have started to gather at the Mohammed VI Complex, in preparation for the two friendly matches scheduled against Chile in Barcelona and Paraguay in Seville.
Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah is among the players absent from Walid Regragui’s list due to lack of performance and competition. But in response to the arguments put forward by the coach, the player defended himself with a brace against the Al Khalij club.
Moroccan international Fayçal Fajr , whose name is not on the list of 31 players called up by Walid Regragui, is not discouraged. In a statement to the Saudi press, the Moroccan player discussed some burning issues before promising that he will do everything to have a place in the national team for the World Cup.
The Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech who refused to play for Morocco under coach Vahid will soon join the Atlas Lions squad. The exchanges between Walid Regragui, the new coach of the national team, and the Chelsea star have been conclusive.
Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech could be recalled by the new coach of the Atlas Lions. Walid Regragui would thus put an end to a year of sidelining the Chelsea attacking midfielder, whom the former coach Vahid Halilhodžić accused of lack of commitment to the national team.
Barely appointed to replace the Franco-Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic, the new coach of the Atlas Lions, Walid Regragui has received a tight schedule to prepare Morocco for its sixth participation in the final phase of the World Cup scheduled in Qatar.
The new coach of the Atlas Lions, Walid Regragui , was born and raised in France, but remains very attached to Fnideq where he regularly spends his summer vacations and has many friends.
The new coach of the Atlas Lions seems willing to give a chance to former players excluded from the national team. In the extended pre-list presented by Walid Regragui , the name of some former players such as Hamza Mendyl, whose last appearance with the Atlas Lions dates back to 2020, appears.
The national team of local players no longer exists. The President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaâ, announced its dissolution on Wednesday during a press conference.
It’s official, Walid Regragui has just been appointed the new coach of the Moroccan national football team. He succeeds Vahid Halilhodzic , who was fired at the beginning of the month for incompatibility of mood with certain players, including Hakim Ziyech.
The suspense is over. The African Football Confederation (CAF) preceded the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), confirming on Monday the choice of Walid Regragui as the new coach of the Atlas Lions. The former WAC Casablanca coach would have signed a three-year contract.
