The International Football Federation (FIFA) said Morocco’s FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa made the appropriate decision when signing the contract with coach Walid Regragui.

FIFA released a report titled “The Magical Mixture that Repeated the 1986 Achievement,” highlighting the Royal Moroccan Football Federation’s decision to terminate the contract with former coach Vahid Halilhodzic about three months before the start of the 2022 World Cup.

The International Federation further stated that the decision was made despite Halilhodzic’s success in qualifying the Moroccan national team for the World Cup competitions.

Morocco’s new coach Regragui achieved remarkable success, after ending on top of Group F standings with a total of 7 points, and qualifying the Atlas Lions for the Round of 16, added the same source.

“The spirit with which the Moroccan national team appeared in Qatar, the extent of the rapprochement between the coach and the players, and the significant imprint of the returnees, especially Ziyech and Mazraoui, confirmed beyond doubt that Lekjaa’s decision was totally accurate, and that maintaining unity is far more important than the other aspects.”
