Hassan Shehata Quits

Hassan Shehata has decided to end his reign as the manager of Egypt after the team’s 2012 Africa Cup of Nations disappointment, the FA said on Monday.

The Master agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent following a meeting with FA chairman Samir Zaher.

The decision was made after Shehata failed to take Egypt to the 2012 Nations Cup for the first time in the history of the seven-time African champions.

The FA has yet to name potential candidates to replace the 61-year-old, who brings down the curtain on an impressive career with the Pharaohs on the continental stage.

He guided Egypt to three back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations titles in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

She had to.

Zamalek boss Hossam Hassan offered his view over who will be the man to take Egypt’s hot seat.

Egypt are looking for a manager following the departure of Hassan Shehata this week, with speculation suggesting that it will be a local coach.

“Egypt’s next manager should have a big name, history and achievements, both as a player and a coach, even if for a short period,” the Egypt legend told FilGoal.com.

“He should have made an impact in the domestic league as well.

“We have to look to our goals. We want to reach the World Cup, so we have to see if this manager has ever experienced such a high level.

“You also have to see if this manager can work under pressure or not.”
