During Roberto Garcia Parrondo reign as Egypt men’s senior national team coach, they emerged as one of the best sides in the world, boasting a huge potential with excellent players coming into the squad.

Under Garcia Parrondo’s guidance, several of those players shined in major international competitions as Egypt reached the quarter-finals of the IHF Men’s World Championship and the semi-finals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

The platform provided by the national team also helped convince club sides that Egyptian players could be called upon to deliver in Europe’s elite club competition.

While left back Ali Zein and line player Mohamed Mamdouh play for Romanian champions Dinamo Bucuresti, centre back Yehia Elderaa is a rookie in the European premium competition, becoming more and more important for Hungarian giants Telekom Veszprém HC.
