He should grow in the manner he utilises his players.
He should grow in his understanding of different setups and tactics.
The moroccan coach has shown different approaches In the manner he utilises his players.

The moroccan coach studies his opposition, and like a master tactician tweaks his tactics to win.
We have seen this over and over in this tourney.
This cannot be said of Eric Chelle.
💯
But against Algeria he really put superb show, even against Morocco just that the boys messed him up.

The Moroccan coach.
The Egyptian coach.

With the quality in our hands and with a sound coach, we should be the best in Africa.
Let me complete it for you: with qualities like Ejuke. Our players are scattered in Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City.

Walid Regragui took Morocco to the Semi finals of the 2022 World cup, the same year he started as their coach.
Playing same style of football Peseiro played and reach final yet you criticised Peseiro.

Egypt had more possession of the ball and created more big chances.

Eric Chelle did not fully utilise the quality at his call.

He will be the oldest player in the department during the next World Cup by 2030.
Fortunately Goalkeepers have the most longevity, they get better with age. Arthur Okonkwo will be a perfect understudy for Nwabali.

Egypt had only ONE shot on target vs our 5 on target. Since you're impressed by ball possession that leads to nothing, we also had more possession against a whole Morocco (host team) but they had 5 shots on twrget against our 1.. so I ask again..so which superiority did the coach show? or you just don't understand how match stats work? Bros no dey embarrass yourself like this...

The Egyptian coach made good use of the quality that is available to him.

He took our team to penalties.

Egypt had more possession but we had more shot at target. You concluded Egypt 'bested' us.

Morocco had less possession than Nigeria but had more shot on target. You concluded Morocco 'bested' us. On top ref favouring them.

These conclusions are contradictory.

That’s why I can never support or agree with those who bash paseiro! Their contradictory conclusions is too much.

We hail Morocco now as the current model of African football but na haram football they use to achieve such status!

Femi Azeez, winger scored in Millwall's 2-0 away win at Watford in the English Championship. His 7th goal and 8th G/A in 16 league games.

Ibrahim Adewale, Winger scored once in Mjallby's 4-0 won vs Kalmar FF in a club friendly today. He is a product of Triple 44 academy and is 19y/o.

16 y/o Anglo-Nigerian LB, Yisa Alao played 63mins as LWB in Sheffield Wednesday's 0-1 loss to Portsmouth in the Championship. It was his 2nd appearance in the Championship but his first 60mins+ league game. Already made a 60mins showing in the FA Cup vs Brentford 7 days ago.

Sheffield Wednesday also featured Irish-Nigerian CB, Gabriel Algirdas Babatunde Otegbayo who played 90mins.

Ola Aina played all 90mins+ in Nottingham Forrest's goalless outing vs League Leaders, Arsenal in the EPL.

I hope they weren't including one of the disallowed goals.

The fact that this same Moroccan coach still needed penalties to beat NOVICE Eric Chelle says alot about his tactical abilities.😒

Mank1234 is spot on in his summary. Hardly any difference between Walid Regragui's Morocco at Qatar 2022 WC and Jpes' Nigeria at Afcon 2023. So if anyone criticizes Jpes, Walid's Morocco should also get hit.

More than anyone, I followed that Moroccan side before and during the WC in Qatar and ngl, na ultra defensive football dem play. Counters was their main weapon of attack and it paid off big.
It is the same manner in which Morocco's U20 won the recent U20 World Cup so their next generation of Haram defensive football is set to take over.

You are the one embarassing yourself.

They created more big chances and had more possession.

What hope is their for the NPFL teams and their CHAN twin if their big brothers from Europe needed to go into penalty shootout to win players from Al Ahly, Zamalek, pyramids. With a sound coach, big brother are supposed to flog these guys.

This was how many of you came after me when i complained about Eguavoen and Finidi.

We are yet to land a Grade A coach.

Morocco is simply just going for ultimate results not minding how they do it, haram football o, ref o, fans blowing their own whistles just get the win or become champions and let’s leave people guessing or arguing among themselves that we are the best in Africa 😂

May God help our Senegalese brothers 😂

Congolese Jean Jacques-Ndala 🇨🇩 will be referee for the 2025 AFCON final

He has been a FIFA referee for 13 years, officiating in U17 AFCON, CAF Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, CHAN etc.

The AFCON Final will however be the biggest game of his career

He also officiated in the AFCON opener between Morocco and Comoros, and Tunisia and Tanzania, and gave a penalty in all the games
