Walid Regragui is among the top five football coaches of the 2022/23 season, taking the fourth spot out of 100 other candidates, according to Spanish daily Marca.
Marca wrote that Regragui had just topped the League and the Champions League with Wydad, but that Qatar 2022 had exalted him. Morocco–in its fourth place finish–earned the best performance of an African team in the history of the World Cup. The news source also noted that Morocco’s national team had beaten Belgium, Canada, Spain, and Portugal. Until the semis, it had only conceded one goal.
In this ranking, Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola topped the list, followed by Argentina’s Lionel Scaloni (2) and Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti (3), with Barcelona’s Xavi Hernandez completing the top five.
