Donja Praises Hossam Hassan’s Achievement with Egypt and Backs Ali Maher to Succeed

Former Zamalek star Tamer Abdelhamid, known as Donja, said Hossam Hassan had achieved a great deal with Egypt, calling his departure at that time the wrong decision and saying the problems he faced could have been resolved.

Speaking on the “Stad Al Mehwar” programme, Donja added that Hossam Hassan’s difficulties with players included Mostafa Mohamed, Mohamed El Shenawy and Mohamed Salah, and said they cost him a great deal.

He also described Ali Maher as a great coach who puts on good matches and expressed confidence that he would succeed. Donja cited Hassan Shehata, noting that he took charge of the senior national team despite having never previously coached national teams, and achieved success with it.
