CAIRO: Police Union’s sports director Mounir Oqeila denied that his side intend to sack coach Talaat Youssef.

The Egyptian League newcomers got off their campaign to a disastrous start, suffering five successive defeats.

Youssef s job is safe. We just had bad luck in the matches we played, Oqeila told FilGoal.com.

We create many clear-cut chances every match but we squander them.

Youssef, who took over at the club in the summer, is yet to replicate the success he had with Al-Gaish last season.

He steered military club Al-Gaish to an impressive fourth-place finish last season.
