Mohamed Ouahbi<\/strong> is the surprise story of the World Cup 2026 dugout. A youth coach who lifted the FIFA U-20 World Cup with Morocco in 2025, he was handed the senior job just months before the tournament — and has taken the Atlas Lions all the way to the last 16. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n\n

Who is Mohamed Ouahbi?<\/h2>\n

Born in Brussels in 1976 to a Moroccan family, Ouahbi spent years in the Anderlecht academy, coaching age groups from the youngest juniors up to the under-21s. In 2022 he took charge of Morocco’s under-20 side, and it was there that he made his name.<\/p>\n\n

The U-20 World Cup that changed everything<\/h2>\n

Ouahbi’s defining moment came in 2025, when he guided Morocco to the FIFA U-20 World Cup title, beating Argentina 2-0 in the final. It was a landmark triumph for Moroccan football and marked him out as one of the country’s brightest coaching talents.<\/p>\n\n

Replacing Walid Regragui<\/h2>\n

When Walid Regragui<\/strong> — the man who led Morocco to a historic World Cup semi-final in 2022 and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title — resigned in March 2026, the federation turned to Ouahbi. Promoted from the under-20s just months before the finals, he inherited a golden generation and a weight of expectation.<\/p>\n\n

That U-20 world title, sealed against Argentina, remains the standout entry on his CV — and he is now writing a new chapter with the senior side.<\/p>\n\n

Morocco at the World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n

Ouahbi’s Morocco have been superb. They opened with a battling 1-1 draw against Brazil, before beating Scotland 1-0 and Haiti 4-2 to come through the group. In the Round of 32 they knocked out the Netherlands on penalties<\/a>, captain Achraf Hakimi<\/a> leading from the front, to reach the last 16.<\/p>\n\n

Through to the last 16<\/h2>\n

Morocco’s reward for their shootout win over the Netherlands is a last-16 tie with co-hosts Canada. Ouahbi, so recently a youth coach, is now within touching distance of matching Regragui’s semi-final heroics of 2022.
