Carlos Queiroz named new Egypt coach after El-Badry sacking

Carlos Queiroz named new Egypt coach after El-Badry sacking

Egyptian Football Federation has on Wednesday appointed Carlos Queiroz as the new coach following the sacking of Hossam El-Badry.

His appointment came after an unconvincing start to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup under Hossam El-Badry supervision. As a result, the Portuguese will take over from El-Badry, who was dismissed Monday in the wake of a 1-1 draw in Gabon.

The experienced 68-year-old previously managed Real Madrid (2003-04), Iran (2011-19), Colombia (2019-20), and his native Portugal in two different stints (1991-93 and 2008-10).

The African giants are desperately seeking to qualify for a second consecutive FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar next.

The EFF said Queiroz, a former Manchester United assistant and Real Madrid manager, would be supported by Diaa El-Sayed and long-time former national team goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary on his coaching staff.

Sierra Queens captain Kamara hits big stage with Armenia move

Sierra Queens skipper Rashida Kamara will continue her soccer adventure with the Armenian women’s championship club Noravank SC.

The Sierra Leone international defender told this medium that it means the world to her, trading her career for the first time outside Africa in a 2-year deal.

Kamara has been an instrumental figure in neighbouring Liberia, where she has been helping Liberia female division side World Girls FC during the 2020/21 league season.

A well-recognised player on the pitch, she provided 15 assists, seven goals in all competitions.

Her most notable season was in 2019 when she was awarded the Best Defender award in the Liberia league after she helped Earth Angels seal their double championship.

“I am delighted in joining Noravank in the Armenian women’s championship. A dream come true, and this means the world to me,” she told FSL news.

The club announced the news on their Facebook page. “Look who has arrived in Armenia. Sierra Leone senior Rashida Kamara of the national team of women is already in Armenia.

“We are pleased to announce that Rashida Kamara is joining the Noravank Girls team, and we are sure that she will have a direct impact on the team’s success and great victories. Welcome to Noravank big family, Rashida.”

“A good away result will bring and increase confidence in the team.”

The former homebased coach also has backing from the club Chairman Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai Esq.

Saffa Abdulai Esq has called on the fan club to support their new head coach Ibrahim Kaloga Bah.

“I think it is paramount for all of us, including the fan club, to rally behind Ibrahim Kaloga Bah so that he can succeed. Our objective is to offer the needed support for him to be a success in this new appointment.”
