Pupil becomes the master! Morocco boss Walid Regragui was on a Zoom call LEARNING how Arsenal beat Man City from Gunners boss Mikel Arteta 12 months ago... now he's one game from leading his team to the World Cup final

What a difference a year can make.

It has emerged that 12 months ago Morocco manager Walid Regragui was hunched over his laptop screen, taking down notes as part of a Zoom seminar with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

The fascinating revelation has come out with Regragui now 90 minutes away from guiding Morocco to the World Cup final in Qatar, in what would be one of the greatest achievements in the competition's 92-year history.

Arteta was presenting a tactics seminar on Zoom, using Arsenal's victory over Manchester City as one of the examples to explain his coaching and tactical philosophies.
