The Egyptian Football Association have confirmed that Bob Bradley has accepted their offer to become coach of the national side.
The 53-year-old, who was fired as United States of America manager in July, will replace the long-serving Hassan Shehata.
Bradley is expected to travel to Cairo next week to sign a contract with the Pharaohs.
He had been linked with the Aston Villa job last season before owner Randy Lerner decided to appoint Gerard Houllier.
