Get everyone to agree. Finally. Or fuel controversy. Forever. Walid Regragui knows it: the options are not legion. Sunday evening (8 p.m.), this African Cup of Nations final against Senegal, the first that the Moroccan selection will play in twenty-two years, will also say something about him. Of what he is. Of what it represents. And the question which, against all sporting logic, continues to accompany him here: is he really the right coach, the one who wins?
The question may seem lunar seen from Europe, where Regragui remains the man who led Morocco to the last four of a World Cup, a historic first for an African selection. But at home, it has been part of his daily life since this premature elimination in the round of 16 of CAN 2023 against South Africa came to crack an aura that we thought was made of Kevlar. Since then, criticism has persisted. He and his Lions are moving forward.
