Morocco head coach, Walid Regragui has set his sights on winning the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Redragui who was recently named the African Coach of the Year at the 2023 CAF Awards, sees the award as a strong motivation to aim for more success on the continent.
“I am very proud and honoured to have received this beautiful award. It is not just for me. This is a collective trophy. It is a group trophy. I would never be here if it was not for the players, coaching staff, the entire team, and everyone who has supported us each step of the way,” Regragui told CAFOnline.com.
Regragui dedicated this award to his parents and especially his mother who for the first time in his footballing career – both as a player and manager left Paris to travel to watch his son in action.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Redragui led the Atlas Lions to reach semi-final, the first by an African side.
The 1976 champions will play at the iconic Laurent Pokou Stadium in San Pedro in the south western part of Côte d’Ivoire.
