Hossam Hassan has renewed his contract to remain as the head coach of the Egypt national team until 2030. The 60-year-old manager's new deal ends a period where he had been working without a formal contract since February of this year.
Egypt continues its journey towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup under Hassan's leadership, currently sitting second in their qualifying group with 5 points from 3 games, having scored 5 goals and conceded 3. The team's most recent result was a 3-2 defeat to Argentina on July 7, 2026, in the round of 16 of the World Cup finals.
Hossam Hassan took charge of the Egyptian national team in 2024 and has since led the side to notable accomplishments. He guided the Pharaohs to the round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup, where they narrowly lost 3-2 to Argentina. Under his management, Egypt also secured its first-ever World Cup finals victory by beating New Zealand. On the continental stage, Hassan led Egypt to the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, solidifying the Egyptian Football Association's faith in the veteran coach.
Hossam Hassan himself shed light on the period leading up to the renewal, stating, "I had been working without a contract since February 2026." This revelation confirms that the coach carried out his full responsibilities in leading the team, its training, and preparations for official matches for several months without the security of a formal contract. It shows the mutual trust between both parties and the commitment to the ongoing sporting project.
