The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has named Morocco head coach Walid Regragui as Coach of the Tournament at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, recognising his tactical discipline and leadership throughout the competition.
Regragui’s Morocco impressed with a balanced approach that combined defensive solidity, intelligent game management and sharp transitions in attack. CAF officials cited his ability to read games, make timely tactical adjustments and maintain consistency across high-pressure fixtures as key reasons for the award.
Morocco’s performances reflected a clear identity built on organisation, collective responsibility and strategic flexibility, attributes that allowed the team to remain competitive against varied opponents during the tournament.
The honour further strengthens Regragui’s reputation as one of Africa’s elite coaches and reinforces Morocco’s growing stature in continental football.
