The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has renewed its confidence in Mohamed Ouahbi as head coach of the Atlas Lions. The decision was made during a board meeting on July 16, 2026, at the FRMF headquarters, chaired by Fouzi Lekjaa.
Ouahbi, who has been at the helm since 2024, will continue to lead the national team through the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. The FRMF cited his tactical improvements and team cohesion as reasons for the extension.
No specific contract length was disclosed, but sources indicate it aligns with the next major tournament cycle. The federation emphasized continuity as key to building on recent performances.
