Speculation about Regragui’s future surfaced following Morocco’s defeat in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final. Pape Gueye’s goal secured a 1-0 victory for Senegal, while Brahim Diaz missed a late penalty that could have changed the outcome.
The loss, which came on home soil, left many fans and journalists frustrated, fueling rumors that Regragui was unwilling to continue in his role. However, the FRMF insists he remains committed to leading the team.
