Cairo, Egypt – Speculation is mounting around the future of Egyptian football manager Khaled Galal as reports indicate he may be on the verge of signing a lucrative deal with one of Libya’s top football clubs.

According to prominent Egyptian sports broadcaster Khaled El-Ghandour, who shared the scoop during his show “Stad Al-Mehwar,” a source close to the coach revealed that Galal has received a significant offer from Al-Nasr Club of Libya to manage the team starting next season.

Strong Interest from Libyan Premier League Side

The offer reportedly comes as part of Al-Nasr’s broader strategy to revamp its technical staff and boost the club’s chances in both domestic and continental competitions. The Benghazi-based club has a history of competing in the Libyan Premier League and has represented the country in CAF tournaments, making the managerial seat highly desirable.

While the financial terms of the deal have not been publicly disclosed, sources claim the proposal is both “substantial” and “career-defining” for Galal, who has managed several Egyptian clubs in recent years, including Zamalek SC, ENPPI, and El Mokawloon.

Decision Expected Soon

El-Ghandour further stated that the coach is currently evaluating the offer seriously and is expected to make a final decision in the coming days. “The most likely scenario is that Khaled Galal will accept the offer from Al-Nasr,” the broadcaster explained.

Sources close to the negotiations emphasized that while Galal is considering other options, the Libyan opportunity stands out due to the level of commitment shown by Al-Nasr and the attractive project they are proposing to build.

Galal’s Managerial Track Record

With a career spanning more than a decade, Khaled Galal is well respected within Egyptian football circles. He first gained widespread attention after briefly leading Zamalek to an Egyptian Cup title in 2018, during a short-term assignment.

Known for his tactical discipline and man-management skills, Galal has worked with clubs across various tiers of Egyptian football, and he’s built a reputation for revitalizing struggling squads. His potential move to Libya could mark the first time he takes charge of a non-Egyptian club.

Why Al-Nasr Is Betting on Galal

Al-Nasr Club, one of the most prominent teams in Libya, is keen on regaining its former glory. After a series of inconsistent seasons, the club’s management is believed to be pursuing experienced coaches who can not only stabilize the team but also lead them to silverware.

The club’s technical committee reportedly sees Galal as a figure capable of introducing modern footballing techniques and a disciplined style of play that aligns with their long-term ambitions.

Implications for Egyptian Coaches Abroad

If the deal is finalized, Galal would join a growing list of Egyptian managers who have found success outside of Egypt. The move could also reinforce the trend of North African clubs tapping into regional coaching talent to boost their domestic and continental competitiveness.

In recent years, North African football has become increasingly interconnected, with coaches, players, and even administrators moving across borders to pursue new challenges. This has created fertile ground for collaboration and rivalry alike across leagues in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria.

What Comes Next?

All eyes will now be on Khaled Galal as he prepares to make what could be a pivotal decision in his managerial career. Should he accept Al-Nasr’s offer, he would begin a new chapter in Libyan football — one that could redefine his legacy as a coach willing to take calculated risks on the continental stage.
