Former Egypt national team coach Hossam Hassan is reportedly being linked with a possible move to South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns, just days after leaving his position as head coach of the Egyptian national team.
According to the reports, Mamelodi Sundowns officials view Hassan as one of the potential candidates to take charge of the club in domestic and international competitions as they continue their search for a new head coach.
His departure from Egypt's technical bench is reportedly linked to tensions following a three-match suspension imposed by FIFA, after complaints from the Egyptian side over refereeing decisions in their match against Argentina. However, the full circumstances surrounding his departure still require further confirmation.
Hassan has extensive experience in Egyptian football, having managed several clubs, including Zamalek SC, Al Masry SC, Ittihad Alexandria, Pyramids FC and Smouha SC. This experience is believed to be among the factors that could make him an attractive option for Mamelodi Sundowns.
If the reported talks progress and an agreement is reached, Hassan would have an opportunity to continue his coaching career outside Egypt, while Sundowns would secure a new leader for their technical bench. For now, the reported offer is still awaiting official confirmation from the parties involved.
