Cuper to be the first coaching casualty of the World Cup Egypt Contract isn't expected to be renewed

Egypt have already been mathematically eliminated from the World Cup and this is likely to cost Hector Cuper his job.

Although the Argentine took the African nation to their first World Cup finals in 32 years, the Egyptian media believe his contract will not be renewed.

His current deal only runs to the end of the tournament and several Egyptian newspapers are reporting that he won't be offered a new one.

This will make Monday's clash with Saudi Arabia his final match in charge of the team he has coached since 2015.

Cuper seemed to expect he'd be leaving the post when he said after the Russia loss that he'd need to speak to the Egyptian FA.
