Mahmoud El-Gohary ( Arabic محمود الجوهري, DMG Maḥmūd al-Ǧawharī ; * February 20, 1938 in Cairo ; † September 3, 2012 in Amman , Jordan ) was an Egyptian football player and coach. The striker was the first to win the Africa Cup as a player (1959) and as a coach (1998); In 2013 he was followed by the Nigerian Stephen Keshi . El-Gohary was also the national coach of Oman and the selection of Jordan , with whom he sensationally reached the quarter-finals of the 2004 Asian Cup . He also won the African Champions League as a coach with two Egyptian teams (1982,1993).

Career

As a player he won the African Championship in 1959 with the Egyptian national team in his Egyptian homeland, a knee injury forced his career to end in 1961. As coach (called 'The General') of the national team, the team qualified for a final round for the first time in more than 50 years in his first tenure from 1988-90, namely that of the 1990 World Cup , where they beat Ireland 0-0 and the European champions Netherlands 1 : 1 played and England lost 0: 1. In his second term (1997 to 1999) he won the 32-year-old striker legend Hossam Hassan , the African Cup of Nations in 1998 in Burkina Faso . In 2000 he was again briefly national coach. As a club coach, he won the African Champions League with Cairo's arch-rivals al-Ahly (1982) and Zamalek (1993). In 2009, annoyed by association quarrels, he left the country and worked in Jordan, where he died after a stroke in 2012.
