According to press reports, Roy Vitoria of Portugal, the former coach of the Russian team Spartak Moscow, decided on his appointment after he received two offers to coach the Egyptian national team and the youth football club of Saudi Arabia.
Portuguese journalist Bruno Andrea confirmed via his official Twitter account that Vitoria had turned down an offer from the Egyptian Football Association to coach the Pharaohs to replace Ihab Galal.
Bruno Andrea explained that Vitoria, 52, turned down an offer to coach the Egyptian national team due to financial compensation, noting that the offer did not meet the requirements of former Saudi Arabia coach Al-Nasr.
A Portuguese journalist reported that the leadership of the Saudi football club Al-Shabab entered into preliminary negotiations with Vitoria to lead the team before the start of the new football season.
