American coach Bob Bradley arrived in Cairo on Wednesday to lead the Egyptian national team in their bid to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
�Egyptians love the game. They are very proud people and therefore take a lot of pride in the national team,� Bradley told the Washington Post on Wednesday.
�The goal is to qualify for the World Cup. They�ve had success in the African Nations Cup [as the three-time defending champions]. They�ve accomplished a lot, but they haven�t gone to the World Cup since 1990. This is the focus, this is the dream.�
Bradley will be paid �360,000 per year.
EFA chairman Samir Zaher will meet with board members Magdy Abdel Ghany, Hazem El-Hawary, Safy El-Dien Bassiouny and Magy El-Halawany before they officially announce the technical staff.
Youth team coach, Dia�a El-Sayed is expected to take the general trainer post while Bradley�s preferred goalkeeping coach, Zaki Abdel-Fattah, is not confirmed yet due to his financial demands.
