Walid Regragui's departure as Morocco coach is considered a done deal, although it hasn't been officially announced.
However, inside the Federation, it's seen as a move that will be implemented very soon, despite official denials.
The news stems from the name chosen by the Federation (though this doesn't mean it will ultimately be the case) to replace him. It's a name that is currently the clear favourite among the Federation's directors. A name they dream of.
Marca is reporting it's Xavi, who has been available since leaving Barcelona a season and a half ago after winning a La Liga title and a Spanish Super Cup.
The Moroccan Federation is convinced that the Catalan coach, who is eager to start a major project is the right coach to guide Morocco at the 2026 World Cup.
The Federation is eager to build on the 2022 World Cup semifinal run and believe Xavi is the man to bring inspiration after last month's bitter AFCON final defeat.
