A growing section of Moroccan fans is calling for a tactical revolution in the national team setup, with many pushing on social media for the appointment of Spanish coach Luis Enrique after the frustration of the recent AFCON campaign.
These demands have intensified amid unconfirmed reports suggesting the Royal Moroccan Football Federation may be interested in sounding out the current Paris Saint Germain boss for the next phase.
For now, the future of current coach Walid Regragui remains unclear, with no official decision on whether any change would come before or after the next World Cup. However, a significant group of supporters increasingly view Enrique as the ideal “profile” to maximize the potential of Morocco’s golden generation, thanks to his tactical IQ and experience at the top level.
Fans base their enthusiasm on Enrique’s footballing philosophy, shaped at Barcelona and now PSG, built around positive possession, high pressing and bold attacking play.
They argue that this style dovetails perfectly with the natural flair, technique and creativity of Moroccan players, who they feel are currently not expressing their full offensive capabilities.
Achraf Hakimi’s resurgence at PSG under Enrique is often cited as the strongest argument in favour of the move. Supporters point to how the right back looks more liberated, influential and decisive with his club compared to his more restrained, tactically conservative role in recent national team outings.
At the same time, many admirers of Regragui note that he led an unfancied Morocco side to a historic World Cup semi final, and that the core problems lie in long term development, continuity and support rather than solely in coaching. Any dream of landing Enrique also runs into hard reality: his contract with PSG runs until June 2027, making any deal complex and costly.
Even so, Moroccan fans see this moment as a potential “golden opportunity” to build a clear, attacking football identity that matches their ambitions on both the African and global stage.
Whether through Enrique or another high level tactician, they want a project that restores sparkle to the Atlas Lions and turns current disappointment into renewed belief.
