Hassan Shehata set for advisory role at 1860 Munich

Hassan Shehata set for a new role with German side 1860 Munich.

Former Egypt coach Hassan Shehata, a renowned figure in African football, is set to become a technical adviser for 1860 Munich, German media said on Saturday.

Shehata watched a training session for the German second-tier club before attending Saturday’s 3-1 league defeat by St.Pauli.

“I’ve come here to help [the team]. We have to rise next season!” the 63-year-old was quoted as saying by German media.

Shehata is arguably the best football coach in Egypt’s history, having guided the Pharaohs to three consecutive African Nations Cups in 2006, 2008 and 2010 – an unprecedented feat in the continent.
