Coach - Herve Renard: There can’t be many managers with a more varied CV than the current Morocco coach, with the Frenchman winning two African Nations Cups with Zambia and the Ivory Coast after also having a spell in charge of... Cambridge United!
Star man - Medhi Benatia: The Juventus defender has probably the best footballing CV in Moroccan football history, having also played for Roma and Bayern Munich and won league titles in both Germany and Italy. He scored a vital goal against the Ivory Coast in November and has over 50 caps for Morocco.
Legend - Larbi Benbarek: Benatia will go on to be his country's best player you'd expect, but Banbarek was a trailblazer as he became the first internationally successful African player after joining Marseille in 1938. The 'Black Pearl' also played in Spain for Atletico Madrid as he paved the way for other African footballers to follow.
Did you know? Just Fontaine, who scored the most goals in a single World Cup finals (13) was born in Marrakesh but played for France as his country was under French rule at the time. Morocco gained independence in 1956, two years before Fontaine's World Cup scoring feat for France.
Fun fact: Coach Herve Renard ran a cleaning business after retiring from playing football and before turning to coaching. The suave Frenchman also always favours wearing a crisp white shirt on the touchline.
