Egypt can't stop Ghana - Former Al Ahly coach

Ex-coach of Egyptian giants Al Ahly, Manuel Jose, believes Egypt does not have a chance of eliminating Ghana to qualify for next year's World Cup.

Ghana recorded a trouncing 6-1 score line against Egypt in the first leg of the final World Cup qualifier in Kumasi three weeks ago.

Egypt will host the Black Stars on November 19 in the second leg of the World Cup playoff which they have to win 5-0 if they wanted to play in the 2014 World Cup after their 6-1 defeat in Kumasi last month.

The former Angola coach has questioned the ability of the Egyptian senior team to beat Ghana 5 - 0 to qualify for World Cup next year.

"Egypt win Ghana 5 - 0? No, it is impossible because Ghana is a very strong team and I think Egypt will not qualify," Jose said to reporters in Cairo.

"Even if Ghana fall in Cairo they will not fall by such a score line ".

Regarding Egyptian reports hinting that the coach who was born in 1946, will take the charge of Egyptian team after Bob Bradley, Manuel Jose replied: " No, nobody talked with me about the Egypt job and I am not here for that . I came to Cairo to watch Al Ahly in the African Champions League".
