Morocco Coach Confident Despite Tough U-20 AFCON Group
Morocco’s head coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, has shared his thoughts on the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations draw, acknowledging the tough competition ahead.
Morocco finds itself in Group B alongside regional rivals Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa. Nigeria remains the most successful team in the tournament’s history with seven titles, while Egypt has lifted the trophy four times.
Ouahbi admitted the group won’t be easy but made it clear that Morocco’s goal is to win the tournament.
“It’s a tough group with strong teams. Nigeria has a rich history in this competition, Egypt is a familiar opponent, and South Africa is making big strides at the youth level,” he said.
He added that Morocco has been preparing this generation of players for two years with the ambition of winning the title.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
