Walid Regragui, the head coach of Morocco, is said to have decided to step down following the defeat in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) final against Senegal (1-0).

According to several French media outlets, the former Wydad Athletic Club coach has already handed in his resignation to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).

Here are the three reasons that sealed his fate with the Moroccan national team.

The disappointment of AFCON

Before AFCON 2025, Regragui made it clear he would resign if the team failed:

"I have a contract until the 2026 World Cup, but if we don't win AFCON 2025, this contract will end and I will go," he declared in an interview with the Spanish show "El Chiringuito."

The defeat in the final against Senegal has pushed him to keep his word.

Popular discontent

The former TFC player received little sympathy from Moroccan fans after the AFCON 2025 disappointment.

Numerous voices on social media called for his resignation following the tournament failure.

Meanwhile, those same supporters are rallying for Tarik Sektioui, coach of the A' national team, to take over the Atlas Lions.

FRMF's silence

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has not reaffirmed its trust in Walid Regragui after the debacle at the last AFCON.
