Bob Bradley’s retention as Egypt’s coach following the 1-6 defeat against Ghana is explained by financial considerations. The Egyptian Football Federation president, Gamal Allam, mentions that it doesn’t make sense to fire Bradley and pay a large sum for the last match of his contract, which runs until June 2014. Firing him at this point would cost the federation $366,000. While Bradley failed to qualify Egypt for the World Cup, financial constraints play a significant role in the decision to retain him for now. The historic defeat against Ghana has angered many fans, leading to protests at Cairo airport and police mobilization to control the situation.
