Hector Cuper Resigns As Egypt Manager

Hector Cuper has left his role as Egypt manager after they were knocked out of the World Cup at the group stage.

Egypt, appearing at their first World Cup finals for 28 years, finished bottom of Group A and failed to pick up a point.

A 1-0 defeat by Uruguay was followed by 3-1 loss to Russia and ended with Monday’s 2-1 defeat by Saudi Arabia.

Their build-up and tournament was dominated by a shoulder injury to star player Mohamed Salah.

Argentine Cuper, 62, would have been out of contract after the World Cup, but had been in negotiation with the Egypt Football Association (EFA) before the tournament started.
