In the wake of the early exit from the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast, indications point towards the imminent departure of Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria from his role as the head coach of Egypt’s national team.
Renowned sports commentator Mohamed Farouk has shed light on the current developments within the Egyptian Football Association, revealing that there is a growing inclination to part ways with Rui Vitoria following the team’s disappointing performance in AFCON.
Farouk stated in a televised interview, “The football association is actively exploring the departure of Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria, given the team’s premature exit from the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.”
He further disclosed, “There is a proposition within the football association to bring back Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz to lead Egypt’s national team once again, following Vitoria’s expected departure.”
Carlos Queiroz, with a rich coaching history that includes previous stints with Egypt, presents a potential return to rejuvenate the team and navigate them through future challenges.
The proposition signals a strategic move within the Egyptian Football Association as they seek to reshape the team’s trajectory after a disappointing AFCON campaign under Vitoria’s guidance.
The decision, if materialized, could usher in a new era for Egyptian football under Queiroz’s experienced leadership.
