Mohamed Latif (Arabic: مُحَمَّد لَطِيف; 23 October 1909 – 17 March 1990) was an Egyptian football manager, pundit, referee and executive.
[3] He was born on October 23, 1909 in Beni Suef Governorate, to a middle class family.
He also won with his team the Cairo League for eight seasons (1928–29, 1929–30, 1931–32, 1933–34, 1939–40, 1940–41, 1943–44, 1944–45), and two titles of the King Fouad Cup (1933–34, 1940–41).
After the World Cup, Latif went to Glasgow, as did goalkeeper Mustafa Mansour, possibly at the suggestion of Egypt's national coach, Scotsman James McRea.
Due to the outbreak of World War II, he was unlucky as all sports activities were cancelled.
His fame increased when, in 1948, he moved into the field of commentating on matches in radio, and he remained with the microphone until his death on 17 March 1990.
[14] He has reached such an extent of fame that he was hosted in Egyptian films as a sports commentator on football matches.
