The tension eventually peaked during a period of absences that Saleh claims forced the board’s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He detailed a breakdown in communication, stating: “Mosimane travelled for a vacation, then went to Morocco to conduct a training course, and then returned to South Africa and the team prepared for a match. Al-Khatib held a meeting with the football company and the planning committee, and there was a video call with Mosimane.”<\/p>\n
According to the former director, the relationship ended when the coach allegedly used health concerns to avoid returning to Cairo.<\/p>\n
“We asked him to come to Egypt to play the matches, but he told us that he was sick. He felt that we were going to make a decision to dismiss him, and his response was quick: we can terminate the contract amicably, there is no problem,” he added.<\/p>\n
“Al-Khatib decided that the football company, along with Hossam Ghaly, would take responsibility for finding a new technical director, and they signed the contract with Ricardo Soares.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The tension eventually peaked during a period of absences that Saleh claims forced the board’s hand.\u00a0 He detailed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[21],"tags":[61102,64226,1982,4930,4931,64229,64225,64228,34038,131,64227],"class_list":["post-116019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-egypt","tag-al-ahly-sc","tag-al-mokawloon-al-arab","tag-egypt","tag-kaizer-chiefs","tag-lamontville-golden-arrows","tag-m-koller","tag-mamelodi-sundowns-fc","tag-p-mosimane","tag-richards-bay","tag-south-africa","tag-talaea-el-gaish"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@africa\/116170842614764831","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
