The Egyptian Football Association has sacked Ehab Galal as coach after just three games in charge of the Pharaohs which culminated in the defeat to Ethiopia in an Afcon qualifier last weekend, APA can report.
Galal, 54, replaced Carlos Queiroz in April after the Pharaohs failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
But he was dismissed after a 2-0 defeat to Ethiopia in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Dawa Hotessa and Shimelis Bekele scored in the Group D match played in Malawi on Thursday last week. Guinea also defeated Malawi in the other Group D game 1-0.
All four teams in the group now have three points each after the opening two rounds of fixtures.
Egypt will look to appoint a foreign coach that will be in charge of their qualifying campaign, according to the BBC.
Galal was appointed by Egypt after a season at Cairo-based Pyramids and previously managed several other club sides including Zamalek, El Masry, and Al Ahly Tripoli.
