Regragui resigned with immediate effect yesterday, just six weeks after Morocco’s defeat to Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final on home soil. This sparked widespread speculation that Iniesta had already signed a contract to take over the role.

Romano took to X on Friday to clarify the situation, stating that while discussions are ongoing, no official agreement has been signed.

“Despite reports, nothing signed or official yet between Andrés Iniesta and Morocco to become the new technical director,” Romano tweeted.

He added, “Talks are taking place, the Moroccan Federation wants Iniesta as director, but not a done deal yet. Decision up to Andrés.”
