The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has chosen to terminate the contract of Hossam Hassan as the head coach of the Egyptian national team, according to a report by Al-Masry Al-Youm. The decision comes after multiple recent disputes. It has been announced that the final games for the current coaching staff will be the upcoming matches against Malawi, part of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Tarek Soliman will assume the role of head coach for these matches, as Hossam Hassan is currently serving a three-game suspension. The EFA is expected to officially announce the new head coach, likely to be an Egyptian, with Hossam al-Badry and Ali Maher among the contenders. The final decision is anticipated after a meeting with the Technical Director, Shawky Gharib.
The decision may be influenced by calls for a foreign head coach. Some suggest delaying the announcement until after the November international window to avoid impacting the team's performance in the Malawi matches. The Egyptian team will be in a closed training camp this November, getting ready for their two matches against Malawi, scheduled for November 13 and 17.
