The new stars of Egypt's national soccer team are more likely to be found in the Egyptian leagues rather than among Egyptians playing abroad, according to Javier Aguirre, the coach of the Egyptian national team for FIFA World Cup Qatar in 2022.
Aguirre, who is from Mexico, took over from Hector Cuper in August after the 2018 World Cup. He told Al-Monitor that he intends to inject new blood into the team. "That is why I am carefully watching Egyptian league matches … to discover talent," he said.
