The departure was announced by Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, Vice President of FIFA and President of the Jordan Football Association, who paid tribute to the Moroccan manager for his achievements with the "Nashama."

In a post on X, Prince Ali praised Sellami's contribution to Jordanian football, saying his legacy would remain firmly etched in the country's sporting history after guiding the national team to a long-awaited World Cup berth.

The Jordanian official said the Moroccan coach carried out his duties with professionalism and dedication, earning widespread respect across the Kingdom, and expressed confidence that he would succeed in his next managerial challenge.
