Carlos Quieroz has resigned as Egypt football national team coach after they failed to qualify for the World Cup.

Egypt lost 3-1 on penalties.

In a statement, Carlos said It was a privilege to work and be helped by dedicated and capable professionals.

“Dream is over… Without you, nothing could be possible for me in my life. I am very much proud of you Lads. My best wishes and enormous gratitude to all Egyptian fans. To the future.”

The former Real Madrid boss, who was appointed in September 2021, was eyeing a fourth appearance at the World Cup as head coach after previously achieving the feat with Portugal and Iran.
