Egyptian legend to take charge of South African giants? Sundowns find Cardoso replacement
South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns have received an unexpected offer to appoint legendary Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan as their new manager.
Details: According to journalist Abdel Nasser Zeidan, a prominent Moroccan sports marketing agency has officially proposed the former Egypt national team boss to the club’s leadership in Pretoria. Sundowns officials have greeted the initiative with great enthusiasm as they urgently seek an experienced coach to replace Miguel Cardoso following a painful dip in results both domestically and on the continental stage.
Hassan’s extensive experience in African football, his steely character and his ability to get the most out of attacking players make him a highly attractive candidate for the Brazilians. The two sides are preparing to move on to substantive talks, discussing the financial terms of a contract and the timeline for a potential appointment.
It is worth noting that Hossam Hassan is an iconic figure in African sport and Egypt’s all-time leading scorer. He won the Africa Cup of Nations three times as a player and has also enjoyed success as coach of several leading Arab clubs and his country’s national team.
