World Cup 2022: Morocco part ways with coach Vahid Halilhodzic before Qatar finals

Morocco have parted company with national team coach Vahid Halilhodzic just three months before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The country's football federation (FRMF) said the decision was taken because of disagreements on how to prepare the Atlas Lions for the finals.

"The two parties have agreed to part ways amicably," a statement from the FRMF said.

Halilhodzic, 69, took charge of the North Africans in August 2019.

He led the side to the quarter-finals of this year's Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon and then secured World Cup qualification in March following a 5-2 aggregate win over DR Congo.

The Bosnian's departure clears the path for the return of Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech to the Morocco squad, following a highly publicised spat involving the pair.

Wasn't Halilhodzic the coach in charge of Bosnia when they lost to Keshi's boys in the 2014 WC? This could be a very good move or a very bad move. No in-between. We will see.

Wha choo looking at?!

Morocco fires coach 3 months before WC

They should have fired him earlier. It dies seem like they are doing this to bring Ziyech and the Bayern LB into the fold.
