Morocco has parted ways with head coach Walid Regragui approximately three months before the next World Cup tournament begins, according to multiple reports.

Regragui, a former Morocco international player, achieved historic success with the Atlas Lions during his tenure. He guided the national team to an unprecedented semifinal appearance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, making Morocco the first African nation to reach that stage of the competition.

The coach also led Morocco to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations this past winter, further cementing his reputation as one of the continent's top tactical minds. These achievements represented the highest points in recent Moroccan football history.

According to Moroccan media reports, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is preparing what has been described as a special ceremony for Regragui's departure. The federation appears to be handling the transition with formal recognition of the coach's contributions to the national team program.

The timing of the coaching change comes as Morocco prepares for upcoming World Cup competition. The federation will need to identify and install a new head coach with limited time remaining before the tournament begins.

Details regarding the specific reasons for the coaching change or potential successor candidates have not been officially disclosed by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.
