No more. Hector Cuper has ceased to be the coach of the Egyptian National Team, after a poor performance with the 'pharaohs' at the 2018 World Cup, where they failed to earn a single point.
"The Board of Directors of the Federation dismisses the coaching staff headed by Hector Cuper and appreciates their commitment at the 2018 World Cup," said the statement from the Egyptian federation.

Does Salah resign from Egypt? Federation responds to the case of the 'Pharaoh'.
Egypt finished last in Group A of Russia 2018, with 3 defeats in the tournament (1-0 against Uruguay, 3-1 against Russia, and 2-1 against Saudi Arabia).
The Africans had returned to a World Cup after 28 years of absence and the 'pharaohs' fans had high hopes, with Mohamed Salah among their ranks, who had been performing brilliantly with Liverpool in the Champions League.
Hector Cuper led the Egyptian National Team to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, so they hold affection for him despite his discreet role in Russia 2018.
