31 March 2026
Media reports link Walid Regragui to Ghana as coach candidate.
Reports say Walid Regragui, former Morocco coach, is a candidate to lead Ghana at the 2023 World Cup, which starts in under three months in the United States, Canada, and Mexico globally.
Regragui stepped down from coaching Morocco earlier in March, with Mohamed Wahbi taking charge in his stead recently there.
Speculation has arisen about Regragui taking the Saudi World Cup job, replacing Frenchman Hervé Renard, who has delivered inconsistent results for the Green Falcons, yet the Saudi Football Federation denied the reports.
The Ghana Football Association had announced earlier this Tuesday the dismissal of coach Otto Addo today.
Following a string of negative results, the latest was 2-1 Germany.
According to AfricaFUT, the continent's sports network, Regragui is among the leading candidates to coach the Black Stars today.
She said Regragui has not decided yet, preferring patience and best project.
Ghana face England, Croatia, and Panama in World Cup group this year.
Punchline: If coaching Ghana fails, he can always blame the coffee.
Punchline: Either way, the rumor mill will sprint faster than the ball.
