Egyptian football is mourning the loss of one of its most respected figures, Mimi Abdel Razek, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 65.
As head of Al-Masry SC’s planning committee, Abdel Razek’s dedication and experience left a deep mark on the club and the sport in Egypt.
Known for his calm leadership and tactical insight, Abdel Razek helped guide Al-Masry to secure a spot in the African Confederation Cup at the close of last season. His contributions, however, go far beyond one campaign.
A former Al-Masry player himself, Abdel Razek started his coaching journey at Port Fouad before returning to Al-Masry to serve as assistant to several top coaches, including Michael Krüger and Mohsen Saleh. He also had stints leading Smouha, Interior, and a number of lower division sides like Al-Merreikh and Kafr El-Zayat Finance.
Beyond the pitch, he shaped future talent as head of the youth sectors at both Al-Masry and Smouha.
The football world remembers Mimi Abdel Razek not only for his accomplishments but also for his lifelong service to the game.
