Clearly, everything moves very quickly in football. In the turbulent weeks following the African Cup of Nations, Walid Regragui left his post as Morocco coach. Capable of taking the Atlas Lions to the semi-finals of the World Cup, the former Grenoble player wanted to offer his country its second CAN. So he said stop, after the defeat in the final against Senegal (0-1, ap).
We know the rest, with this decision by CAF which finally offered the trophy to Morocco, but it was too late for Regragui to turn back. His successor, Mohamed Ouahbi, is already in place and preparing for the 2026 World Cup.
For his part, Walid Regragui remains a coveted technician. And if his priority is to join a club, mainly in Europe, certain national teams are thinking of him. Particularly in view of the World Cup in the United States this summer.
Regragui at the World Cup with another country?
Thus, Ghana has simply sacked its coach, Otto Addo, after the defeat in Germany (2-1), the fourth in a row for the Black Stars. As a result, the place is free for the World Cup, and Regragui is on the short list of Ghanaian leaders, and contact has even already been established.
Meanwhile, the name of Walid Regragui is also circulating insistently on the side of Saudi Arabia, where the place of Hervé Renard would hang by a thread. Some local journalists even announce that the friendly match against Serbia this Tuesday will definitely be the latter.
Meanwhile, Hervé Renard would not be left out. The former coach of Zambia, Ivory Coast and the French women’s team would also be an avenue considered by Morocco. Clearly, this should change by the 2026 World Cup.
