Moroccan Federation Continues Ambiguity: Will Fourth Statement Decide National Team Coach's Fate?

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) continues to maintain an air of mystery regarding Walid Regragui's future with the national team. In its latest statement on Thursday, the federation merely denied the appointment of a new coach without confirming Regragui's continuation or announcing his departure. This approach appears deliberate, seemingly designed to fuel speculation and debate surrounding the leadership of the "Atlas Lions."

This development comes at a critical juncture, less than four months before the start of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The national team requires clear technical stability to ensure adequate preparations for a global event of such significance.

Despite reports circulating about Mohamed Ouahbi as a candidate to take over the technical leadership, informed sources suggest that his appointment is merely a matter of time. It appears the Federation has not yet officially announced the appointment, perhaps pending the arrangement of administrative and technical matters, or to keep public opinion in a state of anticipation.

The lingering question remains: Will the upcoming fourth statement be decisive, finally putting an end to the controversy? Or will the Federation continue its ambiguous approach to mitigate any potential shock among fans and players before officially announcing the new coach?
