Diaa El-Sayed, former coach of the Egyptian national team, confirmed that he had hoped that the Egyptian element in the Pharaohs’ coaching staff, led by Portuguese Roy Vitoria, would be “strong”, as he called it.
El-Sayed assumed the post of general coach of the Egyptian national team within the former coaching staff of the Pharaohs led by Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, as the team failed with him to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, only to be sacked. completely last April.
The Football Association previously announced the appointment of Ayman Abdel Aziz as general coach of the Vitoria Authority.
Today, Friday evening, Egypt will play their first match under the leadership of Vitoria, when they host Niger at the “Alessandria” stadium in an international friendly.
Al-Sayed said, in statements to the channel “On Time Sports 1”, in the early hours of Friday morning, “It was not right that Vitoria set the conditions for the choice of the Egyptian general coach with his assistant apparatus, and he he hasn’t coached teams before, (history has kept his blood). “
He added: “I was hoping that the Egyptian general manager in the Vitoria apparatus would be” strong “, because the Portuguese would need him to solve small problems before they escalated, like the recent Mohamed Awad crisis.”
In a different context, Al-Sayed explained: “So far we have not received our debts from the Football Association and Khaled Al-Dardali (council member) has promised me to solve the problem at the beginning of next October”.
El-Sayed praised the mentality of Mohamed Salah, captain of the Egyptian national team, underlining that “he has gained a lot of professional experience, has great emotional stability and knows very well how to deal with criticism”.
The coach gave an example by saying: “When we were in Cameroon during the African Nations Championship, Mohamed Salah held a meeting with the national team players and told them how to approach mobile as professional players.”
