EFA appoints Hossam El Badry as head coach of Egypt’s national team

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has appointed Hossam El Badry as the national football team’s new head coach, succeeding Javier Aguirre, who was sacked in July following the Pharaoh’s last-16 loss to South Africa in the African Cup of Nations, according to the BBC. El Badry’s debut game in charge will be in November when the Pharaoh’s play their first qualifying games for the 2021 Nations Cup finals in Cameroon.
