Rogério Micale to take charge of Egypt U-23 national team

Brazilian manager Rogério Micale has reportedly landed in Cairo as he is set to be appointed the new head coach of the Egyptian U-23 national team.

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) have been on the lookout for a manager to take on the vacant coaching role with the U-23 team.

Juan Carlos Garrido has been reported to be one of the leading candidates for the role after holding talks with the EFA.

However, negotiations broke down between the EFA and the Spaniard, who later thanked them for their consideration.

Additionally, the EFA were previously in negotiations with French manager Patrice Beaumelle, who was reportedly close to signing a contract but it seems the deal has fallen through.

Belgium’s Yannick Ferrera was also linked with the vacant spot after leaving Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Fateh months ago.

But news broke on Thursday that the EFA have reportedly sealed the signature of Brazilian manager Rogério Micale with his arrival imminent.

Micale had led Brazil to their first-ever gold medal after defeating Germany on penalties at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

His most recent stint was at Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal during the 2020/21 season where he led the team for 13 games before departing the country after just three months in charge.

Before his time in Saudi Arabia, the 53-year-old had spent all of his managerial career in Brazil, taking charge of the likes of Atlético Mineiro, Paraná, and Figueirense FC to name a few.
