Bono's Plea Forces Wahbi to Rethink Morocco's Coaching Staff
9 March 2026
Wahbi responds to Bono's request
Mohamed Wahbi, the Moroccan national team's new head coach, responded to a request from his goalkeeper Yassine Bono, who plays for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Wahbi has taken over after Walid Regragui's departure, and as of now he has not announced his full coaching staff, having only revealed his assistant, Joao Sacramiento.
Staff decisions influenced by Bono
According to Radio Mars, Wahbi is close to keeping Omar Harraq as the goalkeepers coach.
The radio also quoted Aziz Al Qablaoui, the Mars sports show host, on Bono's insistence that Harraq remain.
Aziz added that Wahbi originally planned to hire a new GK coach but reversed his stance after Bono's request, opting to retain Harraq.
Punchline 1: If Wahbi's staff changes were a sport, they'd occur in the training room's transfer window.
Punchline 2: Bono's plea was so persuasive that even the crossbar clapped.
