KUALA LUMPUR: The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has sacked national head coach Hossam Hassan following a public altercation between his two wives.
In a statement on Wednesday, the EFA said its board of directors ended Hassan's contract because the controversy damaged the national team's image, according to The New Arab.
The decision followed a board meeting to address negative media coverage of Hassan's personal life.
Days earlier, Egypt's Supreme Council for Media Regulation banned him from appearing on television or giving interviews over the August incident.
