The search for a new coach for the Moroccan football team continues, with Faouzi Lekjaa emerging as a potential candidate. Lekjaa, who is expected to be appointed by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) by the end of March, will have the crucial task of selecting the future coach for the national team.
This appointment holds significant importance as Morocco aims to achieve success in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) in 2015, which they are hosting. The name of Hervé Renard has been increasingly linked to the coaching position, especially considering his past success with Zambia, winning the CAN in 2012.
Renard, currently coaching Sochaux, faces the challenge of maintaining the team in Ligue 1 next season. However, the prospect of leading Morocco in the CAN seems to be an enticing opportunity for him.
Morocco’s recent coaching history has been marked by challenges, including the tenure of Eric Gerets and the disappointment under Rachid Taoussi. The upcoming friendly match against Gabon on March 5 in Marrakech will be an important test for the team as they continue their preparations under potential new leadership.
