Hossam Hassan divorce decision follows reported altercation involving his two wives

Egypt manager Hossam Hassan has reportedly decided to divorce his first wife after an altercation involving his two wives, according to Spanish media outlet Cadena SER.

Images of the incident have circulated on social media. The footage appears to begin with a verbal argument before the confrontation escalates into a physical fight between the two women.

Several people are said to have intervened to stop the dispute, including former Egypt international Hossam Hassan. The Egypt manager is then reported to have collapsed from shock and was subsequently admitted to hospital.

The surprising story was quickly picked up by Egyptian media, with reports focusing on the circumstances surrounding the incident and its alleged consequences for Hassan’s personal life.

According to Cadena SER, Hassan has chosen to end his marriage to his first wife following the altercation. The report did not provide further details about the timing of the decision or the events that led to the dispute.

Hassan’s first wife has since spoken to Al-Arabiya about the situation. In comments quoted by the broadcaster, she said: “The secrets of this house will remain within its walls and will not be revealed, even after the divorce.”

The incident has attracted widespread attention because of Hassan’s prominent position as manager of Egypt, as well as the unusual nature of the reports involving his family.

Egyptian law permits a man to marry up to four women at the same time. That legal context has also been noted in coverage of the story, which concerns Hassan’s two wives.

The reports currently centre on the social-media footage, the intervention of those present and Hassan’s reported hospital admission after the confrontation. Cadena SER’s account also links the incident to his alleged decision to divorce his first wife, while her statement to Al-Arabiya suggests she does not intend to discuss private details of the marriage publicly.

No further information about Hassan’s condition after his admission was included in the reports.
