The federation denies any departure
Information denied a few hours later by the Moroccan federation: “The Royal Moroccan Football Federation categorically denies the information circulating in certain media concerning the resignation of the national team coach, Mr. Walid Regragui”we can read in a press release.
For their part, our colleagues from RMC Sport claim that Regragui expressed his desire to leave with his federation, without mentioning resignation. The latter would have offers in Saudi Arabia, in Saudi Pro League clubs. The next few days should allow us to see things more clearly.
