Rowe heads to Egypt

Rowe was sacked last month by the Botswana Football Association (BFA) after a string of unimpressive results. He was replaced by his assistant, Stanley Tshosane, a former Zebras coach.

Yesterday, Rowe refused to shed light about his new appointment. "I do not want to talk to you. Why would I talk to you while you have been hammering me for my entire stay here?" he said. Rowe was appointed Zebras head coach almost two years ago though he was not a favourite of some supporters. A source close to Rowe confirmed yesterday that the man who was brought up in Ipswich, England will be jetting out of the country this week to take up his new appointment in Egypt. Until this week, Rowe has been an employee of BFA since his contract with the association runs until July 2009. Though he was relieved of his duties, he still remains in the association's pay-roll, till the contract expires.
