Cairo, April 11 (BNA) The Egyptian Football Association announced today, Sunday, its separation from national team coach Carlos Queiroz, after the Pharaohs failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
The Egyptian Football Association said in a statement that it had agreed with Queiroz to terminate his contract, without going into further details.
The company did not announce a replacement for Kairouz, who was chosen as the coach of the Egypt national team in September, the Associated Press reported.
The widely expected move – Queiroz had already made clear he was leaving – came just two weeks after Egypt failed to qualify for the World Cup following a penalty shootout defeat to Senegal.
That match was marked by continuous laser brilliance on Egypt’s players, especially Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. Egypt submitted an official complaint to FIFA accusing Senegalese fans of “intimidating” players.
The March 29 defeat was a repeat of the Africa Cup of Nations final in February when Sadio Mane scored the winning penalty kick in the penalty shootout against the Egyptians.
