Morocco coach Herve Renard has cast doubt over his future amid rumours of an imminent departure following the Atlas Lions' elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt on Friday.
The Frenchman, who was appointed trainer of the North Africans in February 2016, was speculated to be considering leaving the Atlas Lions before the tournament and Friday's penalty (4-1) shootout defeat to Benin appears to have heightened exit reports.
The recent disappointment follows Morocco's group stage exit at the Fifa World Cup in Russia last year.
"I would like to say, in this very painful moment for all the Moroccan football lovers, thank you to the players who have been exceptional throughout the long period," Renard said in a statement released on social media on Friday night.
