Already out of coaching for several years, legendary Egypt manager Hassan Shehata has officially retired, according to his son. The 72-year-old recently turned down jobs to coach Libya and Syria. He'll forever be remembered for a run that included 3 successive AFCON titles.

Imagine saying this after the performance Egypt put in 11v10, away, history of "playing football" aside.
Sometimes it's difficult to figure out who does or doesn't have the maturity and mental fortitude to evolve into an elite pro from the youth level, and sometimes it's easy.

« Je pense que les égyptiens ne savent pas jouer au vrai football, ils ne savent que pleurer ! » 😂🇲🇦

Qatar was no fluke, in case you were wondering. Morocco was wonderful today. A few mistakes from Bounou, otherwise I dare even say the team's game and tactics have even evolved since Qatar. Something about this team just feels like a first in Africa.
FT: 🇲🇦MAR 2-1 BRA🇧🇷
Morocco takes their first ever victory against the five-time world champions. Brazil had their chances, but you can't say it was undeserved. We did enough and showed that this team is here to continue breaking barriers. DIMA MAGHRIB!

No photo has ever said "it's the 90s, I've got a smoking addiction, a mix of old school maniacs and punk kids that sneak out for shisha after curfew, and I've decided to become the first person ever to win AFCON as a player and a coach" like this one.

Listen, I'll leave it to the Egypt staff to decide whether Morsy fits what they're trying to accomplish from a technical standpoint. What I do know is that he's proven his character time and again, on and off the pitch. These are the personalities you need in a dressing room.
“We've got the privilege to be here. 30,000 and an amazing team, while the plight continues in Palestine”.

Great shot of Ahly manager Marcel Koller’s pre-match reaction to seeing Cairo Stadium [reasonably] full for the first time. There’s an entire generation of kids that aren’t used to this, and have no idea it used to be even more lit.

Say what you will to fit it into your narrative, but the obvious point being made was that this is a microcosm of how little the West (thanks to its politically-governed media) cares about Palestine in comparison to Ukraine. Even some in the West are vocal about this point.

Quite the weekend for Egyptians in Europe:
🏴 Salah scores his 200th
🇫🇷 Mohamed scores vs. PSG
🇩🇪 Marmoush scores vs. Bayern
🇹🇷 Trezeguet scores and reminds us why he starts for Egypt
Throw some assists in there as well.

As they are want to do, Cairo giants Ahly lift their game up with the occasion and upset star-studded Saudi side Ittihad at the FIFA Club World Cup in Jeddah.
Ittihad's total payroll is almost $190 million.
Ahly's total payroll is less than $15 million.
Football pedigree.

No longer a 120,000-seater like the old days when Egypt was unbeatable there, but we better get this filled to the sad new capacity (75,000) and make tickets accessible to all income levels. If you don't maximize home advantage, you can't complain about not qualifying.
