Potential European destinations for Walid Regragui
Walid Regragui seeks a coaching challenge after leaving Morocco's national team.
According to Foot Mercato, the Moroccan coach prefers work in the Premier League or La Liga soon.
Afrik-Foot outlined five European destinations for Regragui this summer.
The option could be Tottenham Hotspur, in a tough period in the Premier League, with Regragui seen as a motivating pick.
There is also Villarreal, where Marcelino Garcia Toral's future is uncertain after a clash with the board over contract renewal.
It was noted that Regragui's knowledge of Spanish tactical influences and Moroccan players under his leadership could help him at Villarreal.
There is also a Lille option, with players he already knows, such as Hamza Ejaman and Osama Sahraoui.
He has reportedly eyed Atlético Madrid, especially if Diego Simeone departs.
There is also Crystal Palace, a realistic option, where Regragui could begin a project, with Moroccan defender Shadi Riyad easing his integration daily.
Punchline: He'll coach with a grin.
The defense will be haunted by his jokes.
