The Portuguese coach led the Pharaohs to the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon earlier this year.
Seven-time African champions Egypt and their manager Carlos Quieroz have gone their separate ways
The decision comes after the Pharaohs failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup slated for later this year in Qatar.
Egypt lost 3-1 on penalties to Senegal, who also defeated the Pharaohs in the final of the AFCON2021 on penalties in February to lift their first-ever AFCON title.
In his statement, the 69-year-old stated that it was an honour to have coached the African giants.
“Every new beginning that starts with one painful farewell, means that our hearts are full of gratitude, respect, and friendship. Those are my feelings right now,” Quieroz said in the statement.
“There are no goodbyes in football, just a simple kind and warm “see you later on the Game”. That also means you will always be in my heart, even if only God knows how and when we will meet again.”
“To be the National Team Coach of such a great passionate football Nation was a privilege and an honor. To receive your trust and confidence for renewing this commitment to the next future means a lot for me and it is a professional reward of recognition that will prevail in my heart forever. Thank you so much to EFA.”
“To all football Egyptian community, I express my best wishes and belief that Egypt will be a successful football nation.”
