Nicknamed the miracle..a disabled Moroccan coaches football teams

Nicknamed the miracle coach, he is Moroccan Abdelkhalek El Wardi, who was born without limbs but became a football coach helping players in Morocco's youth teams develop their skills on the field.

When he was seven years old, Al-Wardi used to play football with the children in his village and was a goalkeeper, but as he got older, he watched the children playing and then gave them advice on their playing style.

Dubbed the "miracle coach" by his peers and supporters, Al-Wardi was known for being both stern and fair on the field.

He hopes to rise to the level of coaching the teams participating in the tournaments, but he needs qualifications to achieve this goal.

Al-Wardi said, "My coaching career began in 2010 with neighborhood teams. Praise be to God, from 2010 until 2014. I gained experience in training neighborhood teams, which I participated in in local and regional patrols. Thank God, last year, I was called by the Raja Benjarir team management who assigned me. To supervise the junior categories of the team.

Omar Al-Wardi said, "For two years, I have been the assistant coach, the miracle, as the residents of Benjarir call him, Mr. Abdel-Khaleq Al-Wardi. This year, the managing office of Raja Benjarir's team has placed in us the confidence to manage the junior and boy groups."

He added, "Abdel-Khaleq is outside the field. He has goodness and a white heart, a person of high morals, on the field as well, but he is more strict with me as an assistant and with the players. He does not like chaos and negative things."

Coach Wafaa Tara said, "I wish the Royal Moroccan Football Federation to pay attention to these people (with special needs) to obtain diplomas in training and sports management. I testify to the word that I say that (Coach Abdelkhalek) works with young people, he is strict in training and does not like chaos. During training, he is also looking for football talents that feed the local teams of Benguerir."
