Egyptian Football Association president Hany Abo Rida announced a contract renewal for Hossam Hassan after the national team’s World Cup run.
The Egyptian Football Association has officially announced the board’s approval of the renewal of Hossam Hassan’s contract as national team head coach.
In its statement, the EFA said the board also approved a new deal for team director Ibrahim Hassan, with formal procedures to be completed at the board’s next meeting after the squad returns home.
The FA said the decision was taken to continue the national team’s project and build on the Pharaohs’ recent World Cup campaign.
The 59-year-old had said earlier in the tournament that he had been working without a contract since February 2026.
Hossam Hassan took charge of Egypt in February 2024. He led the team to the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations before guiding them through their deepest World Cup run.
Egypt claimed their first World Cup victory under Hassan with a 3-1 win over New Zealand in Group G. They then beat Australia on penalties in the round of 32 before narrowly losing 3-2 to defending champions Argentina in the round of 16.
So far, the length and terms of the contract have not yet been announced.
