Like a boss, Mo Salah turned down Real Madrid offer to replace Ronaldo: Real Madrid reportedly approached national football star Mohamed Salah this summer in an attempt to poach him from Liverpool as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the Express. Salah, who scored a total of 44 goals across all competitions last year, declined the offer and signed last month a new long-term contract that should keep him with Liverpool until 2023.

Why do not deserve a decent coach — the EFA apparently thinks we’re too good for Thierry Henry: Back home, French football veteran Thierry Henry is reportedly among the Egyptian Football Association’s shortlisted candidates for a new national football team coach, according to The Sun. Henry, who helped lead Belgium to land in third place at the World Cup, was apparently so interested in the gig that he agreed to a major pay cut, Youm7 reports. The EFA still has him as its third option, because apparently we can afford to be picky. Mexican manager Javier Aguirre remains the EFA’s top choice, followed by Spaniard Quique Sanchez Flores.
