Shouki Gharib, the technical director of the Egyptian Football Association, has begun the search for a new coach for the U17 national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup in Qatar. This comes after Hussein Abdel Latif declined to continue in his role and decided to move to Libya to coach their U17 team. Qatar is currently fourth in the World Cup standings with one point from three matches (0 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses), and hopes to improve its performance in the upcoming tournament.
Why is the Egypt FA looking for a new coach?
Hussein Abdel Latif refused to continue as the coach of the Egyptian U17 team after winning the bronze medal in the recent African Cup of Nations in Morocco.

What is the next step?
The Egypt FA will begin evaluating potential candidates to lead the U17 team in the 2026 World Cup. With 48 teams participating in the tournament, Egypt will need a strong coach to guide the team to success. Qatar, hosting the tournament for the fifth consecutive time, hopes to achieve better performance in this edition.
What is the importance of the U17 World Cup?
The U17 World Cup is an important platform for discovering new talents in the world of football. With 48 teams participating, the tournament will provide a unique opportunity for young players to develop their skills and face the best teams in the world.
