Mohamed Ouahbi Reveals the Story Behind Choosing Assistant Joao Sacramento

Mohamed Ouahbi, head coach of the Morocco national team, has revealed the details behind his choice of Portuguese technical assistant Joao Sacramento, explaining that the decision came after a short but decisive discussion with the staff officials. He then voiced his conviction about the need to sign this particular name, even though he had never met him in person before.

Ouahbi explained that his choice of assistant was anything but conventional; rather, it was based on a clear vision of the nature of the work within the technical staff. He said he was looking for a "genuine partner" able to discuss ideas and challenge them, not merely someone content to agree.

The national team coach added that he prefers to work with someone who puts forward different perspectives, helps broaden the scope of thinking, and contributes to making more accurate and effective decisions within the technical setup.

Ouahbi stressed that this kind of collaboration requires intellectual courage and a great deal of harmony within the staff, in order to develop performance and achieve the best results with the Morocco national team.
