On March 5, the Moroccan national team, currently ranked 9th in the world, officially announced that head coach Regragui had stepped down and that Mohamed Ouahbi, the former head coach of the Moroccan U20 national youth team, would take over.
The 50-year-old Regragui took over the Moroccan national team in August 2022. To date, he has led the team in 49 matches with a record of 36 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses. These include a record-breaking run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and a run to the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Mohamed Ouahbi, 49, previously coached the Anderlecht youth team, Anderlecht B team, Morocco U20 and Morocco U23 national youth team. This is his first time coaching a senior team in his coaching career.
