The manager of Egypt, Rui Vitoria, is being considered for a coaching role. He is seen as a potential catalyst to rejuvenate the fortunes of the Amakhosi. Sources close to the matter have indicated that Vitoria has a track record of achievement and innovative tactics, making him a strong candidate for the position. The Portuguese coach is now on the top of the list being considered for the role.
It is noted that his recent involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations is favoring his candidacy over the Spanish coach Raul Caneda. Vitoria’s involvement in the recent Afcon as a factor favoring his candidacy over Caneda has been emphasized. Notably, Vitoria boasts a commendable resume, having won two Portuguese titles with Benfica and the Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr before coaching Spartak Moscow in 2021. He also served as the head coach of Egypt from 2022 to 2024.
Soccer Laduma reached out to Chiefs for a comment, but no response was received by the time this story was published. The importance of recent activity in the selection process has been highlighted. As consultations are ongoing between the technical team and management, Vitoria’s achievements and the style of play of his teams are being taken into consideration in determining his potential impact on the club’s fortunes.
