Following the record win, the head coach of the side revealed that he sought to play a friendly against World Champions Argentina ahead of the World Cup in addition to taking on other African sides in their preparation for the quadrennial showpiece.

“Our goal is to play a match against Argentina. It’s true that we’re in talks with them about it, but it remains complicated, and it may not happen in the end," Regragui said.

“As I said before, there are also African teams we want to face. We’ve received some requests, but in the end, it doesn’t depend only on us. We’ll adapt this week to see which team is available," he added.

“We’ll wait for their answer in the next two or three days. If it happens, it will be a big match for us. If not, we might face an African or even an Asian team, which would give us a different style of play," the 50-year-old continued.

“We want to play against the biggest teams, but it doesn’t depend only on us," he signed off.
