CAIRO: Veteran coach Mahmoud Al-Gohari has been appointed as the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) technical director, said the EFA on Sunday.
We have a deal now and a press conference will be held on Thursday to announce all the details, said the president of the EFA, Samir Zaher, to FilGoal.com.
Al Gohari will have a specific mission, added Zaher. This would namely be planning for the future of Egyptian soccer and precisely the National teams.
The 70-year-old tactician had just quit his job as Jordan boss after making a huge impact there.
Zaher hopes Al Gohari can put football in the country back on track, especially after the disastrous results of all the national teams.
