The Egyptian Football Association on Saturday canceled its contract with coach Hossam Hassan and his technical and administrative staff, after learning the consequences of recent events and their impact on the image and stability of the national team.
The association explained, in an official announcement, that the interest of the national team is its top priority, and noted that the decision came three days after the Supreme Council for Media Regulation in Egypt banned coach Hassan from appearing in all media outlets.
Hassan led the Egyptian national team to the round of 16 in the North American World Cup, before losing to Argentina 3-2.
In the same context, the board of directors decided to assign Ali Maher to take on the role of coach of the A team in the next phase, on the condition that he present his vision regarding the formation of the new technical staff.
