The Egyptian national team exited the African Nations Championship against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on penalties, in the match that brought together the two teams, on Sunday evening, in the round of 16 of the Nations Cup, which has been held in Côte d’Ivoire since January 13, and its events will end next February 11.
Everyone held Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria, the coach of the Egyptian national team, responsible for the early exit from the African Nations Championship, and some also called for his departure from the technical leadership of the Pharaohs.
Q.. What is Vitoria’s salary with the national team?
A.. The Football Association signed a contract with Vitoria with a fantastic salary equal to 200 thousand euros.
Q.. What is Vitoria’s rank in the list of the most expensive coaches in African nations?
A.. Vitoria was the second most expensive coach in the tournament, and despite that, it tied with Cape Verde, whose coach receives less than 10,000 euros, and even Congo, against whom they were eliminated in the round of 16, their coach does not receive more than 20,000 euros.
Q.. What is the value of the penalty clause in Vitoria’s contract?
A.. Football Association officials became in a major dilemma created by the Jabaliya officials themselves after the Egyptian national team’s exit from the African Nations Championship in the round of 16, especially in determining the fate of Roy Vitoria, the national team’s coach.
The Football Association has the right to terminate the contract with Vitoria within a period not exceeding 15 days since the Egyptian national team bid farewell to the African Cup of Nations, in exchange for paying a penalty clause amounting to 3 months’ salary for the Portuguese coach. Therefore, Vitoria has the right to terminate the contract at the present time after Egypt’s exit from the African Nations Cup in Kot. Ivory is suing approximately $600,000.
If the contract with the Portuguese Khawaja is not terminated within the 15-day period, as stipulated in the contract, Vitoria has the right to obtain the full value of his contract if he is dismissed after the prescribed period.
Q.. Was the Vitoria deal the only one that failed?
A.. Vitoria is not the only sign of the failure to seek help from foreign expertise, because the Portuguese deal between Vitoria and Pereira, head of the referees committee, is considered the failure and worst in the history of the Football Association, which is considered one of the most failed boards of directors that have assumed responsibility throughout history. The deal also extended to choosing a president for the referees committee. A failed Portuguese who has not provided anything to Egyptian arbitration so far, and receives dollars without offering anything new, as evidenced by the fact that all the referees present in the African championships appeared before his arrival, and he did not have a plan for development. He also claimed upon assuming responsibility that there would be better arbitration, and this did not even happen. Now, those responsible for the failed Portuguese deal that caused the technical and arbitration collapse of Egyptian football must be held accountable.
