The saga of Hakim Ziyech’s international future goes on.

The winger was not picked for the Africa Cup of Nations because of an ongoing dispute with his international manager Vahid Halilhodzic, and the Chelsea man had basically declared his international future with Morocco over.

But today the BBC have quotes from the head of the Moroccan football federation who has kept the door very much open.

Ziyech has already said he doesn’t want to play for his country while Halilhodzic is in charge, and the manager isn’t going to pick Ziyech while he’s coach. So the whole thing is totally stuck, and all the good will in the world isn’t going to change things.

After getting his team to the World Cup this winter, the coach isn’t going anywhere. So it looks like any future appearances for Ziyech will have to wait until after Qatar is over and Halilhodzic’s future is decided.
