Morocco coach Walid Regragui has debunked reports linking him to the Brazil head coach position and says his target is to win the AFCON title.
Regragui has his own dreams of managing a top European team following his heroics at the World Cup with the Moroccan national team.
The 47-year-old became the first African coach to reach the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup.
The Atlas Lions finished fourth in the tournament after missing out on the bronze medal to Croatia.
“There has been no such offer from Brazil national team after the World Cup," Regraguivsaid in response to media reports that the Selecao were interested in signing him after Morocco made it to the semifinals in Qatar.
"I closed the door for any negotiations due to my contract with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation,” Regragui, who took over as Morocco coach two months before the World Cup after the dismissal of predecessor Vahid Halilhodzic, told Moroccan sports website elbotola.
“My dream is to please the Moroccan people by coaching a top European club,” added Regragui who played for a number of top-flight French teams, including Toulouse, during his football career.
Walid has set his sight on winning the next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations which will be hosted by Cote d'Ivoire.
“We have more targets, starting with reaching advanced places in the World Cup as well as building a big team alongside winning the Africa Cup of Nations title,” added Regragui.

which nations cup, you people said you are Arab not Africa, so better go and play Arab cup
You are kind of people that watch a 3 seconds video to make his opinion, Watch his conferences, he always talked about Africa. Be fair. I had the same discussion with some africans at work. When I showed them the full videos, they simply apologized for their mistake.

How can you get into that conclusion after reading my replies, is baffling to me .
I mentionned other countries, in Africa, who also play in the Fifa Arab Cup.
Does that mean, they shouldn't be counted as Africans?

Arab is not a continent, rather it is a race. The Moroccans aren't completely Arabs but they do have Arabic roots.
They can call themselves Arab proudly.
But that doesn't exclude them from being African, because African isn't a race;however, it is a person who is from the continent Africa.

Just like how in Nigeria, there are Yorubas, Hausas etc. They proudly refer to themselves as their ethnicities, but that doesn't exclude them from being African.

I hope you read this reply with an open mind, willing to learn and understand.
Take care✌
90% of Africans think they're a race xD, after the recent behavior coming from African people towards Morocco, they have proven that they are racists too...

Morocco is also: ▪The first African Nation to qualify from the group stage in the World Cup. ▪The first to reach the quater-final. ▪And recently, the first to reach the semi-finals. _ I believe Morocco deserves respect and not hate and spite.
