Translated Sama Marwan,
The FIFA Players’ Status Committee rejected former Egypt national team coach Rui Vitoria’s lawsuit, where he demanded the full value of his contract, €4 million.
Vitoria claimed his full dues after his contract was terminated following Egypt’s failure in the Africa Cup of Nations, where the team was eliminated in the Round of 16.
He gave the Egyptian FA two months to pay the rest of his salary, but delays led him to file the lawsuit. Egypt’s legal defense was led by Mohamed Al-Mashta.
