Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan posted a message on Facebook defending his brother, national team coach Hossam Hassan, and criticizing what he described as campaigns launched ahead of the team’s training camps. The message came amid reports that Hossam could leave his post, with no official decision announced in the text.
The report says the Supreme Council for Media Regulation decided to ban Hossam Hassan from appearing in the media, and links this to the possibility that he could be thanked for his service and a replacement selected, citing sources who spoke of moves in this regard.
Ahead of the training camp scheduled to begin on 9 November, Football Association president Hany Abou Rida held a meeting with Ibrahim Hassan to make arrangements for it. The report says Hossam Hassan was absent from the meeting, despite being expected to attend in his capacity as head coach.
