Ali Maher has taken over after Hassan’s dismissal amid a controversy-marred period for the Egyptian FA.
The Egyptian Football Association has dismissed coach Hossam Hassan citing concerns over the team’s image and stability. Ali Maher, currently with Ceramica Cleopatra, is named his replacement. The move follows a media ban on Hassan and ongoing off-field controversies, with Egypt’s AFCON campaign and World Cup context shaping the firing.
