Badou Zaki has left his job as coach of the Morocco national team by mutual consent, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A federation statement explained that “After 20 months of instability and inconsistent results” it agreed with Zaki to end his contract.<\/p>\n

The federation also announced that a new coach would be appointed in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Former Ivory Coast boss Herve Renard is being tipped to take over.<\/p>\n

Renard, who lead the Elephants to the Africa Cup of Nations title in Equatorial Guinea last year, was sacked by French club Lille earlier this season.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old also lead Zambia to the Nations Cup title in 2012.<\/p>\n

Former international goalkeeper Zaki, 56, took over as Morocco manager for the second time in May 2014.<\/p>\n

Zaki first managed the side for three years from 2002, losing the Africa Cup of Nations final to Tunisia in 2004.<\/p>\n

Morocco’s next competitive games are crucial home and away 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde at the end of March.<\/p>\n

The two sides are currently top of Group F having won both their matches so far, Libya and Sao Tome are the other teams in the pool.<\/p>\n

The Atlas Lions have also progressed to the final round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
