Salah says Egypt must learn from Cup of Nations failure | News | Sport | M&G

The painful defeat came a year on from Egypt’s miserable World Cup campaign — their first appearance at the competition since 1990 — in which they failed to get out of the group stage after losing all of their matches.

“Very sad for our early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations. We were hoping to continue together till the end and offer the tournament for our loyal fans to whom I have to address a big thank you for the support we are used to from them,” Salah tweeted late on Sunday. “God willing we will learn from our mistakes. I wish the best for the national team in what is to come.”

Coach Javier Aguirre, appointed on a four-year deal last August, was sacked in the wake of the defeat while Egyptian FA president Hani Abou Rida also announced his own resignation.

Is SA soccer so pathetic that it is now become an insult to lose to them. Coaches get sacked - Execs resign ...

Definition: WHIPPING BOY - The boy whose job is to take the beatings when the prince is being naughty. 🤣
