In Egypt, Hossam Hassan, the coach of the national football team, has been dismissed due to his marital troubles

Hossam Hassan has been dismissed as Egypt's national football team coach due to personal issues, not performance. He had been in charge since February 2024 and was replaced by Ali Maher. Despite the team's decent results, including a fourth-place finish in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the decision was influenced by Hassan's marital troubles. The team is preparing for upcoming matches against Malawi in the CAN 2027 qualifiers.
