Pim Verbeek’s role may extend beyond his current responsibilities. Serving as the sports director of the youth selections in Morocco since 2010, the Dutch technician is now a potential candidate to lead the Moroccan national team. The search for a coach for the Atlas Lions has proven elusive for the Federation, prompting consideration of Pim Verbeek for the position. This proposal came from Ali Fassi Fihri, the former president of the Federation, as reported by Al Ahdath Al Maghribiya.
This suggestion is particularly well-received, given that Verbeek’s contract is set to conclude in August 2014. Speculation about his potential role as the coach of the Lions surfaced as early as last November. The decision on whether Pim Verbeek will take on the leadership of the national team or not is expected to unfold in the coming weeks.
