Rabiu Yassin did not wait for events to unfold; he took matters into his own hands. The coach of Egypt’s junior team resigned on Monday following the team’s poor performance at the current FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
Despite being the African champions, Egypt was eliminated in the group stage after two defeats and a single victory. The team’s final match, which could have secured their spot in the second round with a victory, ended in a 2-0 win over England but was not enough to progress. Ghana advanced instead.
Rabui Yassin has faced criticism, particularly in the aftermath of Egypt’s elimination from the tournament.
