French Press Leaks About the Future of Regragui
The French press continues to delve into the topic of coach Walid Regragui's future, amid ongoing discussions about the possibility of his dismissal or resignation from coaching the Moroccan national team, following the loss in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final held in Morocco against the Senegalese team.
The French newspaper "Football" revisited this issue, stating that Regragui, after facing widespread criticism from the public and media, has become frustrated to the point that he offered to resign from his position a few months before the start of the 2026 World Cup finals. However, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation quickly denied this information without providing further details about the coach's future.
In the same context, reports indicated that any potential amicable separation between the parties can only occur with the approval of high-ranking officials, reinforcing the notion that the decision is not solely in Rekragui's hands and is not subject only to technical or public considerations.
However, the questions posed by public opinion go beyond merely verifying the truth of this news. Why hasn't Regragui himself come forward to settle the debate, either by confirming his continuation or announcing his resignation? And why hasn't he held a press conference to clarify the implications of losing the continental title and explain his final stance clearly?
This question becomes even more pressing if we consider an alternative scenario: if the Moroccan national team had won the title, the national coach would have been the first to appear in the media, explaining the reasons for the success and celebrating the achievement with the press. This opens the door to comparisons between moments of victory and moments of failure.
Amidst this silence, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation merely denies what the French press publishes, without providing a clear vision regarding the future of Regragui. This leaves the door open for further interpretations and leaks, especially as some French outlets insist that the decision to dismiss or retain him remains dependent on the will of influential officials.
Amid an incomplete official denial and a technical silence that raises questions, the issue continues to impose itself on the football discussion, at a time when the Moroccan national team needs clarity in vision and stability before the upcoming major events.
