Tamer Mostafa joins Ali Maher’s Egypt coaching staff

Tamer Mostafa has joined Ali Maher’s Egypt coaching staff as the national team prepare for their two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi in November.

The Egypt Football Association confirmed Mostafa’s appointment, with the two sides due to meet on 13 and 17 November in the third and fourth rounds of qualifying.

FilGoal.com had previously reported that Mostafa had reached an agreement with the association to become a general coach with the national team.

He will share that title with Mohamed Abdel Karim, who is already part of Maher’s backroom team.

Mostafa’s most recent managerial position was with Al Ittihad Al Sakandary, a spell which ended in April. He has not taken charge of another club since then.

Before joining Al Ittihad Al Sakandary, Mostafa managed Suez, El Qanah, Misr El-Makasa, El Gouna, Al Masry Lel Etisalat, ENPPI, Modern Future and Ismaily.

The Egypt coaching staff is now led by head coach Ali Maher, with Mohamed Abdel Karim and Tamer Mostafa both serving as general coaches. Mostafa Fathi is the goalkeeping coach, while Mahmoud Selim and Abdel Rahman El-Zoghby are performance analysts.

Diego Giacchino and Wael Raafat complete the staff in charge of workload planning.
