Morocco appoints Gerets as new coach

Former Marseille manager Eric Gerets will be the new coach of Morocco's national team, the country's football federation said on Monday.

Gerets, who will replace Hassan Moumen, will take up the post as soon as the Belgian's commitments with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal come to an end _ in November at the latest.

His assistant will be Dominique Cuperly, who had the same job during Gerets' spell in charge at Marseille from 2007-09. Cuperly will initially take charge of the Morocco squad, pending the 56-year-old Gerets' arrival from Saudi Arabia, the federation said in statement.
