Mohamed Abdel Jalil: Ali Maher will succeed with Egypt national team

Mohamed Abdel Jalil, former star of Al Ahly FC, believes that Ali Maher, the new head coach of the Egypt national team, will succeed in his role, expecting him to replicate Walid Regragui's experience with the Morocco national team by building a strong team capable of competing and fulfilling the ambitions of the fans.

Mohamed Abdel Jalil confirmed during his statements with the media personality Sihem Saleh on the "Classico" program broadcast on ON E channel, that Ali Maher is experiencing a significant public coaching role for the first time, which places great pressure on him. He also pointed out that Maher possesses the necessary qualities for success despite the anxiety accompanying this step.

The Egyptian Football Association announced on Saturday evening the dismissal of Hossam Hassan as head coach of the Pharaohs and the appointment of Ali Maher, the former manager of Cleopatra FC, as the new head coach of the national team.

Egypt's national team is preparing to face Malawi in two matches on November 13 and 17 in the third and fourth rounds of the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers.
