The Egyptian Football Association ended Hossam Hassan’s tenure and appointed Ali Maher as his replacement, less than two months after renewing Hassan’s contract through 2030. This came despite his leading Egypt to the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup and securing the country’s first-ever win in the tournament. Crisis after crisis surrounded the coach: disputes and controversial remarks involving Mohamed Salah, Mohamed El Shenawy and Mostafa Mohamed; a ban by the Supreme Council for Media Regulation preventing him from appearing in the media; a three-match FIFA suspension following protests during the match against Argentina; a confrontation with a journalist; and his criticism of the Africa Cup of Nations schedule. Egypt played 38 matches under Hassan, winning 21, drawing 10 and losing seven. But those results did not stop the association from ending his contract, citing the impact of recent developments on the team’s stability and image.
