It is now official. Carlos Queiroz is no longer the national team coach of Egypt. The country's federation made his departure official on Sunday.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has announced that Carlos Queiroz is to step down as coach of Egypt, after his resignation was not accepted by the EFA. The body on Sunday made public the separation with Carlos Queiroz. The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) had said it will not accept the resignation of Carlos Queiroz, who resigned as coach the day after Egypt was eliminated by Senegal from the 2022 World Cup. But vnow they have changed their decision.
Last week, the local media underlined that the body wanted to keep Carlos Queiroz. The latter was then obliged to come out of his hibernation to sweep away all the rumors about him. "In the wake of recent news and comments, I categorically deny any speculation that I have made demands or requests related to personnel or any other matter concerning the national team," Queiroz wrote on his Twitter account.
"In fact, as agreed with the EFA, until the outcome of the protest presented to FIFA, regarding the elimination match with Senegal, there is no room for any kind of discussions or decisions," added Queiroz.
This time, the die seems to have been cast. Appointed in September 2021, Queiroz will leave with a record of 13 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats with the Pharaohs. Queiroz led the Pharaohs to an Arab Cup semi-final in Qatar and an African Cup of Nations final in Cameroon. He was also close to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.
