Hassan Shehata steeped down as manager of the Egyptian national team after his failure to take the side to the 2012 African Cup of Nations finals.
The most successful coach of Egypt and in African Cup history, Hassan Shehata has resigned as tactician of the Pharaohs. He was reported to have resigned ahead of a planned meeting by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) to show him the exit after an ugly performance in the qualifying campaign. The EFA has accepted his resignation.
Egypt has won the ACN three times in a row – 2006, 2008 and 2010. However, the seven-time champions are stuttering in the 2012 Nations Cup qualifiers.
Hassan Shehata has done so much for Egypt and we thank him and wish him the best of luck.
