He led the Atlas Lions to the 2022 World Cup semifinals.
Morocco reached the Africa Cup of Nations final under his guidance.

Morocco's head coach, Walid Regragui, has stepped down from his position, with the announcement made on Thursday. This development comes as a surprise just three months before the World Cup, where Morocco was expected to be a strong contender. Mohamed Ouahbi, the coach of Morocco's U-23 national team, will assume the role of head coach.

Regragui's tenure was marked by significant achievements, including leading Morocco to the 2022 World Cup semifinals, a first for an African nation. He also guided the Atlas Lions to the final of the recent Africa Cup of Nations. However, pressure had been mounting since their loss in the AFCON final.

Morocco is scheduled to play friendlies against Ecuador and Paraguay later this month as preparations continue for the World Cup. Their opening match of the tournament is set for June 13 against Ecuador.
