Moroccan coach Hussein Amotta has presented himself impressively during the 2023 Asian Cup held in Qatar, leading the Jordanian national team to the semi-finals for the first time in history with a one-nil victory over Tajikistan.
The current composition of the Jordanian team demonstrates significant tactical cohesion, complemented by individual skills, particularly the attacking trio of Musa Al-Taamari, Yazan Al-Naimat, and Ali Alwan.
Hussein Amotta emerges as a figure reviving the prominence of Arab coaches, countering the recent disappointments in major continental events like the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2023 Asian Cup.
Another Achievement:
Separately from Amotta’s remarkable experience so far, Tunisian coach Mokhtar Dhouieb steadily guided the Palestinian national team to the second round, showcasing a commendable performance in the tournament.
Walid Regragui – An Unexpected Fall:
Walid Regragui, the coach of the Moroccan national team, stands out as one of the prominent Arab coaches in recent years, achieving historical success by reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup – a first in Arab and African history.
However, Atlas Lions unexpectedly exited the Africa Cup of Nations in the quarter-finals, losing to South Africa by two goals.
Jalal Al-Qaderi – Djamel Belmadi:
Jalal Al-Qaderi faced disappointment as he failed to make a memorable impact on Tunisia’s national team, exiting the tournament in the group stage.
A similar fate awaited Djamel Belmadi, the coach of the Algerian national team.
Adel Amrouche:
The biggest shock came for Algerian coach Adel Amrouche, in charge of the Tanzanian national team.
He was dismissed after just one round of the tournament due to derogatory remarks against Morocco, highlighting the intensity and drama that sometimes accompanies football at the highest level.
