The official account of the Egyptian national team extended a message to Hossam Hassan, the new head coach of the Pharaohs, who has taken over the reins from the former Portuguese coach, Roy Vitoria.
The Egyptian Football Association decided to part ways with Roy Vitoria, following Egypt’s premature exit from the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The decision came after the team’s defeat against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the round of 16, where the match concluded in a 1-1 draw after extra time, leading to a dramatic penalty shootout resulting in an 8-7 loss for Egypt.
The official Facebook page of the Egyptian national team posted: “Our legend, Hossam Hassan, is the new head coach of our national team.”
The coaching staff of the Egyptian national team now includes Hossam Hassan as the head coach, Tarek Soliman as the assistant coach, Ahmed Al-Kass as a coach, Saifan Al-Sagheer as the goalkeeper coach, and Walid Badr as the administrative manager, with Ibrahim Hassan assuming the role of team director.
Hossam Hassan, a revered figure in Egyptian football, brings a wealth of experience to his new role.
His appointment has been met with enthusiasm from fans who hope for a resurgence under his leadership.
With a decorated career both as a player and a coach, Hassan’s presence is expected to inject renewed vigor and determination into the Egyptian national team as they prepare for future challenges and competitions.
The Egyptian Football Association expressed confidence in the capabilities of Hossam Hassan and his coaching staff, aiming to achieve greater success and restore Egypt’s position as a powerhouse in African football under their guidance.
