Morocco head coach Walid Regragui has offered his resignation following his side’s defeat to Senegal in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The decision comes in the aftermath of a closely contested final in which Morocco fell short against a resilient Senegalese team, ending their hopes of lifting the continental title. Sources close to the team indicate that Regragui communicated his intention to step aside during post-match discussions, taking responsibility for the outcome despite Morocco’s impressive run to the final.
Regragui, who has been widely praised for guiding Morocco to consistent performances throughout the tournament, is understood to have expressed gratitude to the players, technical staff and supporters, while acknowledging the disappointment of falling at the final hurdle. His tenure has been marked by tactical discipline, renewed team spirit and a strong competitive presence on the African stage.
The Moroccan Football Federation is yet to issue an official statement on whether the resignation has been accepted. Further consultations are expected in the coming days as the federation reviews the team’s AFCON campaign and considers the next steps regarding the national team’s technical leadership.
