The outspoken coach was axed after draw with Gabon and with an unbeaten record in his nine games in charge
Egypt manager Hossam El Badry has been sacked despite an unbeaten record during his nine games in charge of the Pharoahs.
El Badry was sacked on Monday, less than 24 hours after the Pharaohs rescued a last-gasp away draw against Gabon in a World Cup qualifier.
A statement by the Egyptian FA said El Badry’s replacement will be announced within 48 hours.Local reports claim that the EFA’s technical director could be named interim coach to lead the team through the rest of the World Cup qualifiers until the appointment of a new coach.
Egypt sit on top of Africa’s World Cup qualifying Group F with four points after Sunday’s draw with Gabon and last week’s 1-0 win at home to Angola.
The former Alhy coach has received mounting criticism from commentators and fans for the Pharaohs’ uninspiring form, tactics and team selection. He hit back saying the players have been exhausted after a long season.
The 61-year-old had an unbeaten record in charge of the Pharaohs, winning five matches and drawing four.
He was named manager in September 2019 following the sacking of the Mexican Javier Aguirre following the Pharaohs’ shock exit in the last-16 of the African Cup of Nations on home soil.
