Mohamed Salah has been proposed as a potential interim coach for the Egyptian national team while head coach Hossam Hassan serves a FIFA suspension. Former national head coach Mohsen Saleh supports the idea, suggesting Salah is the most suitable candidate given the limited time available to prepare for the next three matches. With 66 international goals and 37 assists, Salah is Egypt's second-highest scorer, though he has yet to win a senior international trophy.
