Former Barcelona coach Xavi is being considered as a candidate for the head coach position of the Moroccan national team.
According to Idman.Biz, citing Marca, the Spanish specialist could replace Walid Regragui, but official talks have not yet begun.
According to the source, discussions about a change in leadership are linked to Morocco's poor performance at home in the Africa Cup of Nations. Xavi will not agree to lead the national team before the 2026 World Cup due to lack of time to develop his game. He is open to the possibility of coaching the national team before the 2030 World Cup.
On February 25, Walid Regragui announced his resignation. In 2022, Regragui led the national team to a historic semi-final. On January 18, Morocco lost 1-0 to Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations final after extra time.
