Former France coach Roger Lemerre is to take
over from compatriot Henri Michel as coach of
Morocco, the Moroccan Football Federation
announced on Tuesday.
He will take over from July 1 with his main
task being to qualify Morocco for the 2010 World
Cup finals in South Africa.
The widely-travelled Lemerre was in charge of
Morocco's north African neighbours Tunisia at
the African Nations Cup finals in Ghana at the
start of the year but he was sacked when his
side lost in the quarter-finals.
He led France to the Euro 2000 title and had
been in charge of the Tunisian team since 2002,
winning the African Nations Cup in 2004.
Michel was also sacked after the African
Nations Cup having failed to get his side past
the first round.
