Speaking on the programme “Kol El Kalam,” Said explained that Hossam Hassan’s career with Al Ahly, Zamalek and the Egypt national team cemented his place in the history of Egyptian football, and that differing opinions about aspects of his personality do not detract from his worth. He also said that the fiery temper of Hassan and his brother Ibrahim Hassan when directing players reflected a desire to win and a refusal to accept defeat, and linked Hossam Hassan’s strictness and discipline to the coaching philosophy of Mahmoud El-Gohary.
