Jamal Sellami (Arabic: جَمَال السَّلَامِيّ; born 6 October 1970) is a Moroccan professional football manager and former player.

Playing career

[edit]

A midfielder, Sellami played for several clubs, including Olympique Casablanca, Raja Casablanca, Maghreb Fez and Beşiktaş in Turkey.

He played for the Morocco national team and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[3]

Coaching career

In June 2024, the Jordan Football Association announced that Sellami became the manager of the Jordan national team, after Hussein Ammouta, by signing a three-year contract.[4][5] He led Jordan to finish as runners-up in Group B of the World Cup qualification third round, securing their first-ever participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[6] He departed his position after the team was eliminated in the World Cup group stage.[7]

Personal life

After the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup final loss to his native Morocco, Sellami announced that he was granted Jordanian citizenship by a royal decision from King Abdullah II. The decision was made in recognition of his significant contributions to Jordanian football, which include leading the national team to its first-ever World Cup qualification.[8]
