Mohamed Ouahbi ready to shake up Morocco squad before World Cup

Morocco national team coach Mohamed Wahbi has revealed fresh details about his long-term vision for the Atlas Lions, confirming that his contract with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation runs until 2030.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with BeIN Sports, Wahbi explained that the federation’s decision reflects a broader strategy aimed at building a competitive new generation capable of succeeding on the international stage.

The Moroccan coach stressed that the current phase is not only about immediate results but also about creating a sustainable football project for the future.

Sacramento Appointment Part of Technical Vision

Wahbi also discussed the arrival of Sacramento within the national team’s technical staff, insisting the decision was carefully planned rather than symbolic.

According to the coach, Sacramento’s presence brings tactical diversity and intellectual challenge to the coaching structure, helping improve decision-making and offering new perspectives during match preparation.

He added that maintaining a focused environment away from external pressure remains a key part of his working philosophy with the national team.

Door Open for Young Talents Before World Cup

On the sporting side, Wahbi admitted that Morocco must move beyond its comfort zone in order to continue evolving at the highest level of international football.

The coach hinted that several young players could still force their way into the squad before the World Cup, even if some of them have not enjoyed regular playing time with their clubs.

Wahbi explained that the technical staff has deliberately worked on expanding the pool of available players in recent months rather than relying on a fixed group of names.

He believes this approach will increase competition within the squad and provide more tactical options heading into major tournaments.

Morocco Awaiting Final Squad Announcement

The Moroccan football community is now waiting for Wahbi’s official squad announcement, which is expected to take place on Tuesday, May 26.

The upcoming list is expected to provide clearer indications about the coach’s plans as Morocco enters the final stages of preparation for the FIFA World Cup.
