Egyptian League Live: Pyramids FC vs. El Dakhlya | August 26th 2018

NileSports.com’s coverage of Egyptian Premier League fourth matchday games August 26th, 2018.

Egypt’s�Pyramids Football Club�announced on Saturday the appointment of Argentine Ricardo La Volpe, former�coach�of Mexico, to lead the�Egyptian�Premier League�side.

La Volpe is set to succeed Brazilian�coach�Alberto Valentim, who was dismissed on Thursday after leading the Egyptian football club in three matches; two wins and a draw.

Valentim was fired for “technical reasons,” according to the Egyptian club.

Pyramids is a new club, previously known as al-Assiouty, bought and renamed by its new owner, Sheikh Turki Al-Sheikh, who is the�general manager�of the�Saudi Arabia�Sports�Authority.

The club has made strong investments in Brazilian players to strengthen the squad, including�Brazil�midfielder�Rodriguinho, forward Marcos da Silva Fran�a “Keno” and�Carlos Eduardo.

The Egyptian club also signed Brazilian forward�Lucas Ribamar�from Atletico Paranaense, but he has just been transferred to Saudi Arabia’s�Ohud Club�after scoring two goals in the Pyramids’ 2-1 victory over Talae el-Gaish on Tuesday in the third round of the�Egyptian league.

Egyptian�media outlets�speculated that the dismissal of coach Valentim was related to his alleged disagreement with the sudden departure of Ribamar.
