EFA sets unrealistic standards for selecting Hector Cuper’s successor

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) is “looking for a coach with a track record of winning titles” to replace Hector Cuper as the national football team coach, Goal.com says. Apparently, having prior experience coaching African teams is “not enough” to land the job and the association is looking for a “decorated” coach, EFA head Hany Abu Rida said. Reports had emerged last month that the EFA had initiated talks with Moroccan coach Herve Renard for the position.
