Egyptian football giants Al Ahly sack head coach after Egypt Cup elimination

Egyptian Premier League title holders Al Ahly have sacked their Uruguayan coach Martin Lasarte yesterday after suffering a 1-0 loss to Pyramids FC in the Egypt Cup round of 16, reports Ahram Online. Lasarte failed to meet the board’s expectations, despite helping the team secure their fourth consecutive league title last season. The club has appointed Lasarte’s assistant Mohamd Youssef to coach the team until a successor is appointed.
