Queiroz: I am among the ten best coaches in the world

The coach and his squad are on the verge of getting a ticket to Qatar following their victory in the first leg.

Carlos Queiroz

, the

Egypt

coach, has said that he is among the top 10 best coaches in the world.

The tactician delivered a 1-0 victory over

Senegal

on Friday in the World Cup qualifying matches in the first leg.

The second leg will be played on Tuesday in Sengal but the Egypt manager has challenged his squad.

"

I don't see any reason to be upset or sad [with our performance]. We just beat the African champions. In the second leg, we will defend our advantage with everything,"

Queiroz said, as per PortuGOAL.net.

"I have 44 years of experience as a coach internationally and have more than 2,000 games. I am the only coach to take four countries to the World Cup and I am among the ten best coaches in the world."

Mahmoud ‘Trezeguet’ Hassan, the Egyptian forward, revealed that he is going to be motivated by the Africa Cup of Nations final loss at the hands of Teranga Lions.

"

The win [in Cairo] is a positive step towards achieving our goals, but we have a second-half in Senegal. We can win and reach the World Cup at Senegal’s expense,"

 Trezeguet said.

"We were crushed after the Africa Cup of Nations final because we put in a lot of effort to reach this stage."

The Egyptian Football Association has revealed that Mahmoud Hamdy El-Wensh plans to travel with the team for the second leg notwithstanding his name being on the suspension list.

He was booked during the first half of the game in Cairo and got two yellow cards that was in the matches against Libya and Gabon in the last round of qualification. Therefore, he is not eligible to feature in the second leg on Tuesday.

"The national team staff led by Carlos Queiroz have opted for Mahmoud Hamdy El-Wensh to remain with the team traveling to Senegal in preparation for the second leg on Tuesday despite his suspension,"

the EFA said.
