Walid Regragui on the Radar of a New Arab National Team Walid Regragui, Morocco's former national team coach, is a strong candidate to take over as coach of a new Arab national team during the upcoming period. Regragui left his position as Morocco's coach after leading the Atlas Lions to win the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations. Regragui has a distinguished coaching experience, having led Moroccan teams such as Fath Union Sport and Wydad, as well as Qatar's Al-Duhail and the Moroccan national team.
Iraq Wants to Sign Walid Regragui Iraq's Fourth Channel indicated that the Iraqi Football Association has included Walid Regragui among the candidates to take over the technical responsibility of the Lions of Mesopotamia. Iraq is preparing to participate in the 2027 Asian Cup, where they will play in Group Four alongside Australia, Singapore, and Tajikistan.
Walid Regragui's Achievements Regragui has an impressive record of achievements, having successfully led Morocco to the 2022 World Cup, achieving the best Arab and African performance in the tournament's history by reaching fourth place. Morocco's journey to the semi-finals saw them defeat current world champions Spain in the round of 16 on penalties after a goalless draw, and then beat Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, 1-0 in the quarter-finals.
Regragui won the 2022 African Champions League and the Moroccan league with Wydad, as well as the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco, and previously won the Qatari league in 2020 with Al-Duhail and the Moroccan league in 2016 with Fath Union Sport. After Morocco's last match against France on July 9, 2026, which ended in a 2-0 win for France, Morocco is looking to improve its performance in upcoming matches, and perhaps that will be affected by the transfer of their former coach to a new Iraqi national team.
