The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced today that it has accepted the resignation of two national coaches in a surprising move that has sparked interest in Moroccan sports circles.
A statement issued by the Federation clarified that the accepted resignations are from:
- Mr. Said Chiba, coach of the national under-18 team.
- Mr. Hicham Mounès, coach of the national under-21 futsal team.
The statement did not mention the reasons behind the coaches’ resignations, leaving room for speculation about the motives behind this unexpected decision.
In response to the resignations, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation expressed its gratitude and appreciation for the efforts made by both Chiba and Mounès during their tenure. The Federation also wished them success in their future professional careers.
This development comes at a time when Moroccan football is seeking to strengthen its position at both continental and international levels, especially following the historic achievement of the senior national team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
It is expected that the Federation will announce in the coming days the steps it will take to fill these two important positions, ensuring the continuity of work and the development of young talent in Moroccan football.
The sudden departure of these two coaches raises questions about the future direction of youth development in Moroccan football, particularly given the recent successes at the senior level. Observers will be keenly watching to see who the FRMF appoints as replacements and what strategies they might bring to these crucial developmental roles.
