Morocco has fired their national team head coach, Vahid Halilhodžić, just three months before the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
With the World Cup around the corner, Morocco has decided to part ways with the man who masterminded the Atlas Lions’ qualification where they went unbeaten in the entire journey.
The possible reason behind his sacking could be his repeated fall outs with several key players in the squad. Some of which led to Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech’s premature retirement from the national team.
However, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) cited divergent visions as the reason for the decision.
“Given the differences and divergent visions between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and national coach Vahid Halilhodzic on the best way to prepare the national football team for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the two parties decided to separate,” the federation said in a statement.
Walid Regragui is expected to take over as the new coach. The former Morocco International led Wydad Casablanca to the African Champions League crown in May.
