Carlos Queiroz has left his role as Egypt coach after the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) terminated his contract by mutual consent.
The decision comes after the Pharaohs failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
After losing 3-1 on penalties to Senegal last month, Egypt was unable to qualify for the tournament in Qatar.
They also lost the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final on penalties against the same opponents.
Queiroz, a former Real Madrid, Portugal, and Iran coach, took over as coach of the Pharaohs in September, succeeding Hossam El Badry.
However, the EFA board of directors is likely to meet on Tuesday to consider whether the Portuguese, 69, should be replaced by an Egyptian manager, with former striker Hossam Hassan and Pyramids coach Ihab Gala being among the candidates.
In the meantime, Libya has hired former Mauritania coach Corentin Martins after mutually parting ways with Javier Clemente.
Clemente, 72, was in his second stint with the north Africans, while Martins led Mauritania for seven years before being fired in October.
In other news, Mario Marinica will step down as Malawi’s technical director to take over as head coach of the Flames after Meck Mwase was fired.
Malawi qualified for the 2021 Nations Cup under Mwase’s leadership, but Romanian Marinica oversaw the team in Cameroon, where they were knocked out in the final 16 by Morocco.
Following their World Cup play-off defeat by Tunisia, Mali has advertised for a new national coach. Mohamed Magassouba was fired.
The draw for the qualifying group stage of the 2023 Nations Cup, which will take place on Tuesday, April 19th, is awaited by all four countries.
