Former Manchester United assistant and current Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz watched his side reach the Africa Cup of Nations final from the stands as they beat Cameroon on penalties.
Queiroz, 68, had two spells as Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man at Old Trafford with his first spell lasting just 12 months before taking charge of Real Madrid — although his time at the Bernabeu was short-lived and he returned to United in 2004 and was assistant for another four years.
The Portuguese Egypt coach had to watch the extra-time and penalties from the stands after he was sent off by referee Bakary Gassama in the dying moments of normal time.
Both the manager and the official were embroiled in a heated spat towards the end of the second 45, with Queiroz irate at the Gambian referee for his handling of numerous decisions.
And the Egypt boss had to be held back before being dragged away after a red card was brandished.
Cameroon and the Pharaohs couldn't be separated after 120 minutes, so it was left to a penalty shootout.
Queiroz in the stands witnessed shot-stopper Gabaski take centre stage as the 33-year-old saved two spot-kicks before former Spurs attacker Clinton Njie sent his effort from 12-yards past the post, seeing the Egyptians advance, winning 3-1 on penalties.
The two-time United assistant will be hoping there aren't any repercussions for his actions that will force him away from the sidelines for the final against Senegal on Sunday.
