Vahid Halilhodzic replaces Herve Renard as Morocco coach

Vahid Halilhodzic has been named the new head coach of Morocco, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has confirmed.

The former PSG boss was officially presented at a news conference in Rabat on Thursday.

This brings to an end the Atlas Lions' exhaustive search for a permanent replacement for Herve Renard, who left his role after a disappointing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations outing in Egypt.

A former Yugoslavia international who won the Uefa European U21 Championship, and Ligue 1 with Nantes during his playing days, Halilhodzic started his coaching career in 1990 with Velez.
