The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced on July 17, 2026, that Mohamed Ouahbi will remain as head coach of the national 'A' team. The decision was made during a meeting of the FRMF's Executive Committee at its headquarters in Rabat.
The committee described the team's performance in the recent World Cup finals as 'positive and honorable,' noting that the results reflect the high patronage of King Mohammed VI. The FRMF did not specify the duration of Ouahbi's contract extension.
Ouahbi, who took over the Atlas Lions in 2023, led the team to the Round of 16 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they were eliminated by Portugal. The federation praised his leadership and the team's progress under his guidance.
