Breaking News – February 26, 2026: The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has released an official statement categorically denying reports concerning the appointment of a new national team head coach.

Following intense media speculation over the past 48 hours, the FRMF moved quickly to clarify the situation. Despite several reports suggesting an imminent change at the helm of the Atlas Lions, the governing body insists that no decision has been finalized regarding the technical staff.

Quashing the Rumors

The timing of this clarification is critical. Since early 2026, the future of Walid Regragui has been a subject of national debate, with rumors of his departure gaining traction on social media. By issuing this formal denial, the FRMF aims to stop the spread of misinformation and maintain “serenity” around the national squad as they prepare for upcoming international fixtures.

This approach is intended to protect the players and technical staff from the destabilizing effects of the “rumor mill” during a crucial preparatory year.

MoroccoBeat Analysis: This denial suggests that while discussions about the future of the bench may be happening behind closed doors, the FRMF is not yet ready to announce a transition. Fans are advised to wait for the official press release on frmf.ma.
