It’s never boring with Moroccan national team coach Vahid Halilhodzic. He has had plenty of success with various national teams, as many as four World Cup qualifications, but also only two WC appearances, mostly due to his bad-tempered attitude.His man-management is maybe a tad bit questionable, and it’s been the same in his current role, in the Moroccan dugout.Vaha provided the Atlas Lions with the WC visa, but Villas-Boas awaits for takeoverWith only six months left until the Qatar WC, it’s still uncertain if he will guide his side in the competition, but he remains one of the most straightforward tacticians out there.In the latest interview, Halilhodzic revealed he’s receiving lot of agents’ calls.”They ask me for their players to be invited to the national team. However, with me, it doesn’t go that way.”Vaha’s way is well-known to Hakim Ziyech of Chelsea, who is still out of the squad and obviously won’t return for the WC.AFCON 2021: Halilhodzic on Ziyech – ‘I’m not going to beg him to come back’However, Halilhodzic has sorted things out with Noussair Mazraoui and Amine Harit. He adds that no one is written off, but emphasizes that he needs players who will “put 101 per cent and respect on the table’ when it comes to national team jersey.No means no!”I’ve led four national teams to the World Cup. I really don’t understand the criticism. Why is all this being talked about me? Maybe because I’m ugly? What hurts my family and me the most was the scandalous lie that I insulted the Moroccans “, said the former PSG coach in a press conference that lasted almost an hour.##EDITORS_CHOICE##He accused retired Moroccan footballer and former assistant Mustapha Hadji of playing ‘a double agent’ in the national team.”I am just disappointed. His behaviour was unacceptable, but it was my fault. I had chosen him, “he continued.”When I came, the atmosphere in the Moroccan team was not good. Arriving in the national team, I told the players: ‘Aren’t you ashamed not to know your own country’s anthem?’ Many then learned it. Also, I forbid going out, smoking, playing PlayStation all night… I’d rather do that than let them do what they want, ” concluded Halilhodzic.WED: 22.00: (2.45) ROMA (3.20) FEYENOORD (3.25)
