Overview
- The Moroccan Football Federation's executive committee publicly reaffirmed its confidence in Mohamed Ouahbi a week after Morocco's 0-2 quarterfinal loss to France.
- Ouahbi took charge only three months before the World Cup, succeeding Walid Regragui and working with limited time to implement his plans.
- Ouahbi told beIN Sports in May that his contract runs until the 2030 World Cup, but the federation has not publicly confirmed the length of his deal.
- The decision comes despite criticism from fans and sections of the media over the tournament exit and will keep Ouahbi under close public scrutiny going forward.
- Regragui's 2022 semifinal run raised national expectations, and keeping Ouahbi preserves coaching continuity that could affect team planning and preparations for Morocco's joint 2030 host role.
