TV reporter Mohamed Shabana, claimed that the Egyptian Football Association president, Samir Zaher, had favoured the appointment of Ittihad El-Shorta tactician Talsat Yussif as Egypt’s manager while his deputy, Hany Abou-Reida, preferred promoting Olympic national team coach Hany Ramzy after his impressive efforts.
