The Atlas Lions have improved significantly under Herve Renard, but have they peaked too soon?
Morocco are targeting the Africa Cup of Nations title in Egypt this summer, with any other result likely to be seen as a failure for Herve Renard’s side back home, where ambitions are running high.
Odds on their success may appear generous, but an argument can certainly be made that Morocco are the best prepared and the best equipped of all of the contenders at the Nations Cup.
They realistically have two options for every position, and even though there’s a drop-off in quality in some areas, they have an admirable strength in depth compared to some of their rivals for the title.
