Bizarre! Egypt coach collapses while trying to stop fight between his two wives
In an astonishing incident, Egypt's national team head coach Hossam Hassan collapsed while trying to separate a heated argument between his current and former wives at a hotel in Marina El Alamein, located on Egypt's North Coast. The two women, Howaida Al-Gharbawy and Dina Mostafa, became entangled in a physical altercation that left Hassan unconscious.
Spanish news outlet Cadena SER reported that Hassan attempted to diffuse the situation but ultimately collapsed under the pressure. After the incident, Hassan reportedly divorced his first wife, Howaida Al-Gharbawy, who is also a mother to their three children. Egyptian outlet Al-Arabiya confirmed that Hassan was taken to the hospital following the altercation.
The police intervened to separate the two women, who had been separated for ten days in 2022 before reconciling. The source of their conflict remains unclear. Hassan and Al-Gharbawy met as young individuals, while Hassan remarried Mostafa in 2015. The coach has a history of controversy, including allegations of bias towards Lionel Messi during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite the incident, Hassan's team lost 3-2 to Argentina in the Round of 16, with one of their goals disallowed due to VAR intervention.
