It seems that Egyptian football will not enjoy calm in the coming period, as signs of a crisis appearing to erupt between Egypt national team coach Hossam Hassan and Al-Ahly club.
The Egyptian national team is scheduled to play two matches during the international break in March, the first on the 22nd against New Zealand, and if it wins, it will play on the 26th against the winner of Tunisia and Croatia, and if it loses, it will face the loser of the same match on the 25th.
According to Egyptian media, Tanzania’s Simba has set March 29 as the date for the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals against Al-Ahly in the capital, Dar es Salaam.
Thus, Al-Ahly will be forced to ask the Egyptian national team to remove the players from the national team camp early to prepare and travel to Tanzania, and from here it can be predicted that a major conflict will occur between Hossam Hassan and the management of the Red Club.
The team’s roster includes 10 Al-Ahly players, and Marcel Kohler is not expected to agree to them staying away or arriving late to Tanzania in light of the great pressure that the Red Club has been experiencing recently.
It remains unknown how Hossam Hassan will deal with the crisis, especially since the coach has repeatedly stressed that the national team has priority over the clubs, and it is certain that a crisis may erupt between him and Al-Ahly soon.
