Joordan also spoke about the Egypt national team newly-appointed manager, Carlos Queiroz, who was previously in charge of the Bafana Bafana in the early 2000s.

He reach the World Cup finals with South Africa and Iran, and won the Youth World Cup with Portugal. He has many achievements in countries around the world. And I expect that he lead Egypt to the World Cup.” He concluded.
