The Moroccan midfielder Amrabat announced that he is not available to play for Morocco's national team while Mohamed Ouahbi is the coach. In a public statement, the player made it clear that this is not a definitive retirement from international football, but rather a position regarding the current technical leadership.
Amrabat, who is an important figure in Moroccan football, made this decision after a period of tension with the current national team coach. His position comes at a time when the Moroccan Football Federation is going through a period of transition and internal debate about the direction of the national team.
Mohamed Ouahbi, the coach targeted by this statement, remains in the position and continues to lead the national team. Amrabat's stance thus creates an impasse between the player and the federation, as the midfielder maintains his availability to represent the country under different technical leadership.
The case highlights the tensions that can exist between important players and the technical staff of national teams, especially when there are disagreements about team management or working methodologies. The federation has not yet officially commented on this situation.
