The FIFA World Cup is already over, and fans have shifted their focus to club football, but a lot seems to be happening in the international circuit. Egypt national football team head coach Hossam Hassan, who rose to prominence during the multi-national showpiece last month, has once again hit the headlines. This time, football is not in focus. Hassan was reportedly at the centre of a chaotic altercation between his two wives. As per sources, he was hospitalised after fainting as things turned heated between the two women.

Why Was Hossam Hassan Trending During FIFA World Cup 2026?
Hossam Hassan became one of the tournament’s most talked-about coaches after Egypt reached the knockout stage and pushed Argentina all the way in a dramatic last-16 encounter. Before the match, he insisted Egypt respected Argentina but would not fear the defending champions.
His comments after Egypt’s 3-2 defeat created even greater headlines. Hassan accused the officials of treating his team unfairly and questioned whether there was pressure to keep Argentina and Lionel Messi in the competition. He pointed to Egypt’s disallowed goal and an unawarded penalty claim, saying his side had suffered an injustice.
Hassan’s emotional response made him a major talking point beyond Egypt’s World Cup campaign, with his comments about Argentina and Messi continuing to attract attention even after the tournament ended.
