Lekjaa's Messages in Introducing Wahbi Arouse Attention

The words spoken by Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, during the introduction of the new coach Mohamed Ouahbi, garnered a lot of attention as they contained clear messages regarding the upcoming phase for the Moroccan national team.

During the press conference where the appointment of Wahbi as the successor to the former coach Walid Regragui was announced, Lekjaa said: "The person I am about to introduce to you is a calm man, he doesn't speak much but he works a lot."

This presentation came to reflect the image of the new coach, who previously achieved a remarkable accomplishment with Morocco's under-20 national team, earning him the confidence of the federation to lead the senior national team in the upcoming phase.

Observers believe that these words carry a clear implication, suggesting that the upcoming period requires a focus on work rather than statements. This is especially important as the new coaching staff faces a significant challenge in preparing the team for upcoming commitments, foremost among them the 2026 World Cup.

Some also considered that these messages might reflect a desire to adopt a calmer communication style in the upcoming phase, following the previous experience where Regragui led the team, which at times involved intense discussions with the media, despite the achievements made during that period.
