Egypt Appoints Rui Vitoria As New Head Coach
Egypt has appointed Rui Vitoria as the new national team head coach on a four year deal.
The Egyptian Football Association named Vitoria as the new coach of the Pharaohs on Monday night to replace Ehab Galal who was sacked a few weeks ago.
Vitoria was among the coaches lined up for the Super Eagles job following the sack of Gernot Rohr in December, before the NFF appointed his countryman Jose Peseiro.
The 52-year-old Vitoria was announced as the new coach of the African giants on Monday night in a social media post where he confirmed his appointment.
He signed a four-year contract with the EFA, with a mission of leading the national team to success in their future assignments.
“I am Rui Vitoria, the Egyptian national team coach for the next four years,” the former Benfica manager stated.
Vitoria takes over from Ehab Galal and his prime targets are to win the next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations and also secure a place at the 2026 World Cup.
