What do you feel like the Moroccan coaches have brought to the Jordanian national team?
B
15:13Basil McDaddyGUEST
Both Hassan Ammouneh who guided the Jordanian team to the, uh, 2023 Asian Cup that was held in January 2024, and then his successor, Jamal Sellami, that got the team to the World Cup, got them to the final of the FIFA Arab Cup, have just a ton of pertinent experience, right? So we're gonna talk about a, a national team now that they never expected to be at the World Cup, but Sellami as a player was part of that 1998 team with Morocco that was at France 19, uh, 1998.
B
15:39Basil McDaddyGUEST
He can tap into the fact that he's coached, uh, big Moroccan sides to, to continental glory in Africa.
B
15:45Basil McDaddyGUEST
So they bring, I think, a level of professionalism, a level of experience that you wouldn't get with a local coach.
B
15:50Basil McDaddyGUEST
But I would also say this, Jordan has experimented with bringing in European coaches, but every single time they've had success.
