The departure of a member of the Egyptian national team’s technical staff 24 hours after his appointment

Bassem Ali, a member of the new technical staff of the Egyptian national team, announced on Monday his departure nearly 24 hours after his appointment. Last Sunday, the Egyptian Football Association had revealed the new staff of the “Pharaohs” national team under the leadership of Ali Maher. Bassem Ali’s name was mentioned as an assistant coach within the technical staff, while Mohamed Abdel Karim assumed the duties of general coach and Mustafa Fathi the duties of goalkeeper coach. Bassem Ali wrote via the “Story” feature on the Instagram platform: “God has destined and whatever He wills, first and foremost, our Lord will never do a bad thing to anyone, and I am satisfied with His wisdom. Praise and thanks be to God always.” He added: “I hope people will support and support Captain Ali Maher and his esteemed technical staff, who I am honored to have been. There is one among them who wishes them all the success in the next stage, and I wish I could be there with them and represent our country’s national team, because it is a great honor for any coach to be present and represent his country’s national team.” He continued: “All the best to this respected team, which deserves support and assistance, and may God please them, God willing, Lord of the worlds.” There has been no comment from the Egyptian Federation yet about Bassem Ali’s departure. The “Pharaohs” national team is scheduled to face the Malawi national team on November 13 and 17. This is part of the qualifiers for the 2027 African Cup of Nations.
