Herve Renard is standing down as Morocco head coach after their early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Morocco were one of the pre-tournament favourites for Egypt 2019 but suffered a shock penalty shootout defeat by Benin in the last 16.
Renard, who won Afcon with Zambia (2012) and Ivory Coast (2015), had been in charge since February 2016.
“It is time for me to close this long and beautiful chapter of my life,” said the Frenchman, 50.
In a statement on social media, Renard said he was “not without some emotion and sadness”, adding: “It is an inevitable decision taken well before Afcon 2019.
“I took this decision after having – of course – carefully considered [it]. It is therefore irreversible.”
