Egypt have sacked head coach Javier Aguirre after the hosts suffered a shock defeat by South Africa in the last-sixteen of the Africa Cup of Nation.
The Pharaohs were the pre-tournament favourites but lost one-nil in Cairo after Thembinkosi Lorch’s eighty-fifth minute winner. Egypt Football Association president Hany Abo Rida has also resigned, saying it was a moral obligation.
Mexican Aguirre, 60, was appointed in August 2018, succeeding Hector Cuper, who left after their World Cup exit.
