The video highlighted several moments, most notably their historic campaign at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, along with other memories recorded by the Atlas Lions during his tenure.

Regragui was appointed head coach of Morocco in August 2022, succeeding Bosnian manager Vahid Halilhodžić.

Under his leadership, Morocco reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, achieving the best result ever for an Arab and African national team in the tournament’s history.

However, Regragui’s side later suffered heartbreak in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, losing 1–0 to the Senegal national football team, extending his country’s wait for the continental title to more than 50 years.

Morocco’s Record Under Regragui

Regragui managed the Moroccan national team for 1,282 days, overseeing 49 matches in total. His record with the Atlas Lions was:

• 49 matches
• 36 wins
• 8 draws
• 5 losses

During his tenure, Regragui guided the Atlas Lions through one of the most successful periods in its football history, highlighted by the team’s remarkable World Cup run and consistent performances on the international stage.
