Last August 20 was by far the happiest day of Jorge Vilda. That day the Madrid coach achieved glory by becoming world champion in Australia and New Zealand. Spain won the world title for the first time with native Madrid at the helm, something we only had before the men’s World Cup in 2010.
What happened later in that final with Luis Rubiales ended with the dismissal of Jorge Vilda as coach and sports director of women’s football at the RFEF. Almost a month later, the Madrid coach assumed responsibility as Morocco’s women’s coach. And now, April 9, it can make history again just nine months later. Because tonight Jorge Vilda will put the Moroccan women’s team in the Olympic Games for the first time.
The match is played tonight in Rabat at 10:00 pm, because Ramadan has not yet ended, and the Atlas Lionesses are playing with their fans and the advantage they achieved on Friday (1-2 with Zambia). Jorge Vilda’s students went two goals to zero on the scoreboard thanks to goals from Zineb Redouni and Rosella Ayane. But in the last moments is when the local team managed to close the gap with a goal from Lushomo Mwwemba.
Morocco’s big threat is former Madrid Club de Fútbol player, Kudananji. If Morocco achieves the pass at midnight, it will be a national holiday in the neighboring country and Jorge Vilda will once again make history.
