El-Masry head Coach Ihab Galal has said on Saturday that the Negotiations related to lead the Pharaohs are ongoing. Galal is one of the five candidates that are in the running to lead the Pharaohs.
"There are negotiations with the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) concerning leading the Egyptian National team," Galal said in a press conference.
"There are some details in the negotiations, most notably getting the approval from El-Masry's management," he noted.
"I am concentrating now with my club to make a perfect start to our campaign in the Confederation Cup," the former Zamalek manager added.
Earlier, the EFA's interim chairman Amr El-Ganainy said on Sunday, September 1, that the EFA normalization Committee would choose the national team’s next coach out of five candidates.
“We have five nominees to lead the Pharaohs; Hassan Shehata, Ahmed Hossam Mido, Hossam Hassan, Hossam EL-Badry, and Ihab Galal,” the interim president said.
In August, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi announced that the upcoming coach for the Pharaohs would be an Egyptian.
The Former EFA board sacked coach Javier Aguirre following the Pharaohs’ shock exit from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after they suffered a shock defeat by South Africa 0-1 at Cairo Stadium.
It is worth mentioning that El-Masry is set to kick off their adventure in the Confederation Cup against Malindi on Sunday, September 15 at 15:15 (CLT).
