Morocco's national coach, Walid Regragui, attempted to downplay the 1-1 draw against Mali in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations group stage, framing it as a learning experience despite tactical missteps that left the Atlas Lions vulnerable. With their winning streak broken and tactical coherence questioned, Morocco faces pressure to demonstrate resilience and strategic clarity in their upcoming match against Zambia.
His main objective is to help the Atlas Lions qualify for the 2022 World Cup and win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations title. French-Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic is the Morocco national football team’s new coach, hired after the departure of Hervé Renard.
