There has been a heated uproar surrounding Moroccan national team coach Walid Regragi in recent days. Some sources have reported that he has been dismissed from his post or is on the verge of leaving. However, for now, the most important point is this: the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has officially denied these reports and stated that Regragi remains with the team.
So, the statement that "Regragi was fired" is not yet a confirmed fact, but rather rumors and debatable information. According to the federation's statement, the information about the termination of cooperation with the coach is not true.
At the same time, it is clear that such rumors did not arise without reason. After losing to Senegal in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, Regragi remained at the center of criticism, with questions about his future increasing. Since then, his fate has been discussed in the international press.
Valid Regragi, as a reminder, is a highly acclaimed specialist who led Morocco to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and has gained worldwide recognition. He is still listed as the head coach of the Moroccan national team.
There are reports of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, but there is no reliable official confirmation yet. Therefore, it's better to draw a cautious conclusion on this topic: There's pressure around Regragi, there are rumors, but there's no official departure yet.
In short, the situation in Moroccan football has reached an interesting point: rumors on one side, and the federation's firm rejection on the other. So, for now, it would be more accurate to say "there's a big discussion around" rather than "Regragi left."
