Scientific training and tactical discipline.. Moroccan clubs are relying on the Portuguese school.

As preparations continue for a new season of the professional championship "Inwi" in its first division, a number of national clubs have decided to change their coaches; either due to not achieving results that meet the expectations of the fans, or because the coaches wish to pursue new experiences.

However, what is striking is the increasing reliance of national clubs on Portuguese coaches, with the number of teams depending on Portuguese coaches reaching six; namely: the defending champion Maghreb Fez with coach Rui Almeida, the Royal Army with coach Soares Gonçalves Pedro Valdemar, Wydad Athletic Club with Paulo Sérgio Brito, the coach of Hassania Agadir Ricardo Chiu, the coach of the Meknes club Jorge Pacheco, in addition to the coach of Fath Union Sport Ricardo Formosinho.

Regarding the growing interest in the Portuguese school, national coach Abdel Rahim Talib stated that many clubs are now turning to hire Portuguese coaches, largely due to their good reputation, work ethics, tactical organization, and the results achieved by some of them on the international stage, emphasizing that this trend gives the impression that foreign experience ensures greater success.

Talib mentioned, in a statement to Hespress, that this fact does not necessarily mean that local coaches are less competent, explaining that in Morocco there are qualified coaches who hold recognized certificates and possess deep knowledge of Moroccan football, its culture, and its players, pointing out that many of these coaches have proven their worth by achieving excellent results.

For the national coach himself, the real challenge lies in creating an environment where skills are assessed objectively, without bias related to the coach's origin or nationality, noting that competition is fruitful when based on merit, competence, and performance, reiterating that local coaches deserve the same opportunities and trust that their foreign counterparts receive.
