Vahid Halihodzic hits Morocco
It was a great success for Morocco, but there is one person who is not happy with this result. We are talking about former coach Vahid Halilhodzic. The Bosnian led this team from 2019 and came into conflict with Hakim Ziyech who wasn’t called up to the team for this reason. Fans couldn’t imagine the World Cup without the Chelsea player and demanded the Bosnian’s resignation. The federation president finally gave in to the pressure by sacking Halilhodzic just before the start of the World Cup. The Bosnian coach resents activists for not allowing him to lead the team at this tournament.

Words of appreciation from Walid Regraguia (current Moroccan coach – editor’s note) will not ease the bitterness, he said in an interview with the Croatian portal tportal.hr.
