Ehab Galal was sacked as coach of the Egyptian national football team on Thursday, two months after he took over from Carlos Queiroz. Bad results and not so great display of the Pharaohs were the main reason for the sack. Galal won his first game with the national team against Guinea in the opening game of the AFCON qualifiers, but the game was won thanks to Mostafa Mohamed’s late winner. The next game was already a disaster, as Egypt suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Ethiopia in Malawi. Galal still remained at the helm, but after the Pharaohs lost 4-1 in a friendly match against South Korea, the Egyptian FA decided to act quickly.Egypt FA has parted ways with Ehab Galal after 2 games in charge of the Egyptian national team. pic.twitter.com/wecFmvchaF— African Soccer Updates (@Africansoccerup) June 16, 2022 „The negative results of the Egyptian coach precipitated his departure.
