After the elimination of Morocco in the round of 16 of CAN 2024, Walid Regragui suggested that he could leave his post.
This is a terrible disappointment for the Atlas Lions. Semi-finalist of the 2022 World Cup and big favorite for this 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco was eliminated at the round of 16 stage, beaten by South Africa (2-0) on Tuesday evening. After the meeting, Walid Regragui took full responsibility for this disappointment.
“Of course, I bear the responsibility for this failure, I am not someone who hides from my choices of play, from my choices of players, declared the Moroccan coach at the microphone of beIN Sports. I have nothing to reproach my players for. They followed me, they gave their all. I felt like we were capable of bringing this cup home. It’s a competition that’s complicated for everyone, there were a lot of surprises, there were injuries, we had a lot of absentees. We adapted, there are young people who returned, we could have expected better from them and from me. But today, it is the failure of the coach, not the players. »
“I failed, so we have to take responsibility”
Walid Regragui then spoke about his future, he who had set himself the objective of reaching the last four of the tournament under penalty of leaving office. “I said that Morocco had to go to the semi-finals, so I am going to sit down with my president, he confided. We’ll have a good chat. I never hide, we will take our responsibilities, at least mine. Today, I failed, so we have to take responsibility. » To be continued.
