Amman: Sellami, who took charge of Jordan in June 2024 after succeeding fellow Moroccan Hussein Ammouta, guided the team to a historic first-ever qualification for the FIFA World Cup finals. He also led Jordan to the final of the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025.

Jordan Football Association President Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein thanked Sellami for his efforts and his contribution to one of the most significant achievements in the history of Jordanian football.

In a statement, the association acknowledged the coach’s role in taking the national team to the World Cup for the first time, despite the team’s early elimination from the tournament.

Jordan’s World Cup campaign ended with three defeats in the group stage. The team lost 3-1 to Austria, suffered a 2-1 defeat against Algeria, and concluded its campaign with a 3-1 loss to Argentina.

Sellami becomes the eleventh coach to leave his role following his team’s exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Other departures include Uruguay’s Marcelo Bielsa, Scotland’s Steve Clarke, Czech Republic’s Miroslav Koubek, Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann, Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman, Ecuador’s Sebastian Beccacece, Tunisia’s Sabri Lamouchi and his replacement Herve Renard, as well as Portugal’s Carlos Queiroz, who resigned after the defeat to Colombia last Friday.
