Spanish newspaper Sport has reported that Andrés Iniesta, the legendary former midfielder of Spain national football team and FC Barcelona, is being considered for the position of sporting director of Morocco’s national teams.

According to the report, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is evaluating the possibility of appointing Iniesta as part of a broader restructuring plan within Moroccan football.

The federation recently appointed Mohamed Ouahbi as the new head coach of the Morocco national football team, replacing Walid Regragui, while Portuguese coach João Sacramento has been hired as the first assistant coach instead of Rachid Benmahmoud.

The report adds that the potential arrival of Iniesta is part of a wider project aimed at developing Moroccan football in the coming years, particularly with the country preparing to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.

Iniesta would be expected to oversee the sporting performance project linked to the national team, while Sacramento is set to introduce modern training methods aligned with the demands of contemporary football.

The changes are part of a broader vision to strengthen Moroccan football by linking the senior national team with youth development programs, academies, and women’s football initiatives.
