Morocco is thinking big for the continuation of its sporting project. As the Atlas Lions prepare to compete in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is already thinking about the future of its selection with a clearly stated ambition: attracting a world-renowned coach.
And according to information relayed by Sporta prestigious name is now circulating around the Moroccan selection: that of Pep Guardiola. The Spanish technician has just announced his departure from Manchester City after a decade marked by numerous titles and historic domination in England.
Even if Guardiola would consider taking a step back with a sabbatical year after his Mancunian adventure, this would not prevent several suitors from positioning themselves. Among them, the Moroccan Federation would carefully monitor his situation, convinced that the former coach of Barça and Bayern Munich could allow Morocco to take a new step on the international scene.
Wow, a contract until 2030
This track would be a continuation of the ambitions displayed in recent months by the FRMF. Before the appointment of Mohamed Ouahbi, Xavi’s profile had already been studied. But the Guardiola idea would make people dream even more internally, despite the obvious complexity of such a file.
Under contract until 2030, Mohamed Ouahbi officially remains the strong man of the Moroccan project. But the supposed interest in Guardiola confirms one thing: after making an impression during the last major international competitions, Morocco now intends to establish itself permanently among the great nations of world football.
