Pharaohs coach Carlos Queiroz resigns after the Egypt national team fails to qualify for the World cup.
The Egypt national team coach Carlos Queiroz resigns as coach of Pharaohs team after their failure to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup slated for Qatar.
The Pharaohs held a 1-0 advantage before the first return leg after they defeat Senegal national team in Egypt.
The return leg of the game at Senegal was in favour of the Senegalese following a penalty shootout in the game.
The Egyptian failed to qualify for the World cup in Qatar and Queiroz has tendered his resignation letter.
He tweeted: “Dream is Over. From the bottom of my heart, my gratitude to Egypt Federation for this honour of coaching the National Team.
“To all my players and my staff, my recognition and humble thank you so much. You will be always in my heart.
“It was my privilege to work and be helped by such dedicated and capable professionals and wonderful friends.”
Queiroz, who had two stints at Manchester United as Sir Alex Fergusons’s assistant, has also held the reins of the national teams of Colombia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates, as well as his homeland Portugal.
His previous stint in African football came with the South Africa national side between 2000 and 2002, although he resigned ahead of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea after falling out with the South Africa Football Association.
