Legend Coach Hassan Shehata is back to coach EGYPT

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has put on hold its negotiations with foreign candidates for the job of head coach for its national team, as they made a switch in plans and offered Hassan Shehata the Egyptian National Team job.

“We had an advanced talks with Renard, but we are in need for a national coach who will surely be more accustomed to the players and these circumstances,” Farid said.

Shehata had a glorious spell with the Pharaohs, leading them to an unprecedented treble in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

The 65-year-old tactician is currently in charge of Arab Contractors, but has hinted on several occasions that he would welcome the job any time.

The seven-time African champions have been without a head coach since the departure of Shawky Gharib in November 2014, after failing to reach the Africa Cup of Nations finals for the third time in a row.
