The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has officially decided to dismiss Osama Nabih, head coach of Egypt’s U-20 national team (born in 2005), along with his entire technical staff, following the team’s early exit from the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile 🇪🇬⚽.

This decision comes after a full evaluation of the team’s performance and considering that this age group has no official commitments for at least a year. The next major competition on their schedule will be the qualifiers for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, set to begin late next year, with the tournament itself expected to take place in November 2027.

A source within the EFA explained that the federation sees no need to rush into appointing a new coach at this stage due to the lack of upcoming fixtures. The new technical staff will likely be announced only after the official schedule for the Olympic qualifiers is confirmed and the future development plan for this team is finalized.

Meanwhile, Osama Nabih stated in earlier comments that he has not yet received any official notice of his dismissal following the team’s World Cup exit. He clarified that, as per standard practice, the fate of any national team coach is usually decided after the conclusion of a major tournament. He added that such decisions are typically followed by a review process to plan for the next phase.

Nabih further noted that no formal communication has yet been made by the Egyptian Football Association, emphasizing that an official decision normally precedes any search for a replacement or planning for the next competition
