Egypt Part Ways with Coach Hassan, Maher to Replace Him
The federation said the change follows a review of recent events as Egypt prepare for two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi.
- On Saturday, the Egyptian Football Association dismissed national team head coach Hossam Hassan and appointed Ceramica Cleopatra coach Ali Maher to lead the Pharaohs.
- The decision followed a review of 'the circumstances and events of the past period' that the board said negatively affected team stability, after earlier media controversies involving Hassan.
- Hassan managed Egypt for 38 matches, securing 21 wins, 10 draws, and seven defeats, though he received a three-match FIFA ban following the team's World Cup defeat to Argentina.
- The EFA asked Maher to present his technical staff plans immediately, as Egypt prepares for two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi later this month.
- Egypt begins a training camp on Nov 9, with qualifiers at Cairo International Stadium on Nov 13 and away on Nov 17, marking Maher's first competitive test.
