The national team of Morocco could have gotten a new head coach from America's Pride, but the recognition was not resolved.

According to Diario SPORT, Jorge Sampaoli was close to signing a contract with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, but at the last moment the situation changed.

According to Gerela, the Argentine fajavet will reach a permanent home with the federation and will replace Valid Regragui as the head coach of the national team. Protea benefit was not brought to official registration.

The king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, who supported the candidacy of Mohamed Ouahbi, played a major role in the decision.. The coach of the Morocco U-20 youth team has rejected the possibility of defeating the leading team of the country.

The 65-year-old Sampaoli is currently without a club after leaving Athletic Mineira at the beginning of 2026. Previously, he worked from low-profile teams, having closely watched Seville, and also coached the national teams of Chile and Argentina.

The greatest achievement of the Argentinean's career among national teams was victory at the 2015 Copa America with the national team of Chile.
