Talaat Youssef (Egyptian Arabic: طلعت يوسف‎) is a former Egyptian football player. He is currently a manager of Smouha in the Egyptian Premier League.

Playing career

Youssef is considered one of El Ittihad El Sakandary's (aka Alexandria Union) best and best-known players. He helped his team gain their latest trophy by scoring the winning goal against El Ahly Cairo in 1976 Egyptian Football Cup.[1] Youssef's loosely tied boot flew into the net as he shot the winning goal, which confused El Ahly's goal keeper; Ekramy.[1]

Managerial career

Youssef not only led Al-Ittihad Al-Sakndary (aka Alexandria Union) to avoid relegation in 2004–05 Egyptian Premier League, but the team reached the 2004-05 Egyptian Football Cup Final game under his management. Although the team lost 0-1 to ENPPI after extra-time,[2] it qualified for the 2006 CAF Confederation Cup because ENPPI qualified to the 2006 CAF Champions League. Al-Ittihad Al-Sakndary was eventually eliminated in the second round after losing to Tunisia's Espérance via Penalty shootout.[3] Both teams had exchanged a 1-0 win on its home ground.

In June 2006, El Geish appointed Youssef as its new manager after his successful spell at Alexandria.[4] He succeeded former coach Hassan Megahed, who died earlier that year. Youssef enjoyed a successful career with El Geish. He led the team to fourth position in 2007–08 Egyptian Premier League, and to semi-finals in 2007–08 Arab Champions League.

Youssed then moved to newly promoted Ittihad El-Shorta. He became the highest-paid local manager at the Egyptian Premier League with a monthly wage of EGP 70,000 according to some reports.[5] He extended his contract for an extra season in May 2010.[5]
