Gharib AMZINE
When he announced his departure from Troyes (ESTAC) during the summer, where he served on the staff of coach Bruno Irles, and in the wake of his appointment as assistant to the Morocco squad, alongside Walid Regragui, many thought that Gharib Amzine was taking still quite a risk.
Leaving a club where he is considered a legend, where he alternated between the positions of player, reserve coach and assistant coach of the professional team, to enter selection football, where the staff sometimes has a very limited life expectancy, especially in the At the approaching a major event like the World Cup, the challenge was enormous.
But at the age of 49, the Mulhousien needed just that: step out of his comfort zone, dare, vibrate and take on a new challenge. The crazy epic of the Moroccan selection at the World Cup in Qatar in December finally proved him right. After finishing at the top of their group, ahead of Belgium and Croatia, the Atlas Lions in turn eliminated Spain and Portugal to reach the semi-finals (defeat to France).
“We wrote the history of Moroccan football, but also that of African football,” enjoys the former Racing player, who now dreams of new heroics with Morocco, notably in the African Cup of Nations (CAN).
