"Hossam Sacked Himself": Hafid Derraji's Fiery Take on Egypt's Coaching Shakeup
Prominent sports commentator Hafid Derraji attributed the dismissal of manager Hossam Hassan from the Egyptian national team helm to a compounding chain of crises, bluntly stating that the coach "sacked himself" through unnecessary escalation.
Derraji noted via his official social media platform that the direct friction erupting between "The Dean" and star captain Mohamed Salah didn't warrant such open hostility, ultimately prompting the Egyptian Football Association to terminate his contract and staff to safeguard team stability. This departure shakes up the Pharaohs' camp, with management appointing Ali Maher to steer the technical helm moving forward.
