Chelsea ace Ziyech receives boost after Morocco sack Halilhodzic

Morocco have sacked manager Vahid Halilhodzic just three months before the World Cup.

The 69-year-old has now been sacked on three seperate occasions in the build-up to the football's major international event.

"Given the differences and divergent visions between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and national coach Vahid Halilhodzic on the best way to prepare the national football team for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the two parties decided to separate," the federation said in a statement.

Halilhodzic and Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech has a public fall-out, leading the latter's retirement from international football.
