Morocco Negotiates with Xavi Hernández to Replace Regragui

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), led by Fouzi Lekjaa, has initiated discussions with Xavi Hernández to replace Walid Regragui as the head coach of the national football team, the Atlas Lions. This move comes after Morocco's failure to secure the Africa Cup of Nations title on home soil, where the team did not meet expectations.
Sources close to the federation indicate that negotiations with Xavi are progressing, and he is viewed as a strong candidate to lead Morocco into a new era in African football. The FRMF aims to leverage Morocco's recent rise in global football to maintain the team's competitive edge on the international stage.
The federation hopes that Xavi's experience in European football will enhance the squad's tactical and mental capabilities. As of now, a final agreement has not been announced, and negotiations are ongoing.
