The Pharaohs boast a record seven AFCON titles, but in recent years they have failed to even appear at the tournament finals, missing out on the 2012, 2013 and 2015 editions after winning three straight crowns from 2006 to 2010.
Argentine manager Hector Cuper is the man who has been tasked with returning the North African heavyweights to the continental championships, having been appointed in March this year.
